Middle East Crisis: Hospital Battle Reveals Power Vacuum in Northern Gaza The ongoing crisis in Gaza has led to a continuous cycle of civilian displacement due to Israeli attacks. The recent focus has been on Rafah, a city in southern Gaza, where over 1.4 million people have been forced to relocate. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced plans for a military invasion to root out Hamas, prompting concerns about humanitarian access and the worsening hunger crisis in the region. The situation has also led to displacement to other areas, such as Al-Mawasi, which lacks adequate shelter and infrastructure. The power vacuum in northern Gaza has been highlighted by the struggle of civilians to find safety amidst the ongoing conflict.
