TL;DR Summary

The sealed-off territory of Gaza is facing a growing water crisis and bombardment as Israel continues its siege until Hamas returns dozens of hostages taken last weekend. Palestinians are struggling to leave as access to critical supplies dwindles, and water has stopped coming out of taps in some areas. Israel has renewed evacuation orders for half of Gaza's residents, while Hamas urges people to stay put. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees warns that hundreds of thousands of people have fled and 1 million have been displaced in total. The Israeli military conducted raids into Gaza to battle militants and search for abducted individuals. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken calls for protecting civilians and expresses support for Israel's campaign against Hamas.
