Israel’s ‘Hunger Games’ in Gaza
Are No Closer to Ending 600 Days On

Recent sanctions by individual countries, including the UK, to censure excessive Israeli action will not change the dynamics of the conflict on the ground, writes Alexandra Hall Hall

29 May marked the 600th day since Hamas’ brutal attack on Israel which resulted in the deaths of more than 1,200 Israelis, including peace activists, women, children, and youngsters attending a music festival.

It was the 600th day of captivity for the remaining 20 or so Israeli hostages still believed to be alive in Gaza. The 600th day of trauma for all those affected by the 7 October attacks in 2023.

Israel’s retribution on Gaza has resulted in the deaths of more than 55,000 Palestinians, including thousands of children, the devastation of Gaza’s infrastructure, and mass displacement of Gaza’s population, who are now facing an acute humanitarian crisis, because of Israel’s restrictions on food and other vital supplies entering the territory.
