Escalating Israeli Attacks in Gaza Leave Civilians in Desperate Need of Safety

The United States will provide an additional $21 million in aid to Gaza, focusing on essential supplies, health services, and a field hospital. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced a new policy to restrict visas to the US for extremists responsible for violence in the West Bank. The White House claims that Israel has listened to US warnings on civilian casualties, but not everyone agrees. The Israeli military is encircling the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, while aid trucks enter Gaza and injured individuals cross into Egypt for medical treatment. A Gazan woman describes the dire humanitarian situation, and the FBI director says the bureau is working to prevent potential attacks inspired by Hamas. Power is gradually returning to Gaza following a blackout, and rockets were fired from southern Lebanon towards Israel.
