Demonstrations against Hamas erupted on March 25 in the northern Gaza Strip and spread since then to other parts of the territory. Three common themes can be easily detected in the demands of the demonstrators: a cry for help,

New military corridors, airstrikes, evacuation and a blockade of humanitarian aid exacerbate the humanitarian situation in Gaza. On Wednesday, Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said that Israeli forces were establishing a new security corridor between the cities of Rafah and Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

At least 27 Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli air strike on a school in northern Gaza that was serving as a shelter for displaced families, the Hamas-run health ministry says.Dozens more were wounded when the Dar al-Arqam school in the north-eastern Tuffah district of Gaza City was hit,

The Israeli military said it was looking into reports about the deaths at a school-turned-shelter, which came as Israel was intensifying its offensive in Gaza to pressure Hamas to release hostages.
