Israel's military campaign against Hamas entered its second month on Tuesday. Thousands of civilians have been killed.Israel's campaign to crush Hamas ground into its second month Wednesday as its forces battled the Palestinian militants in Gaza City, despite mounting calls for a ceasefire.
"There's not one person not impacted by these horrible attacks," said 52-year-old Sharon Balaban, one of thousands of Israelis attending the vigils.In densely packed Gaza - where more than 1.5 million people have fled their homes in a desperate search for safety - the suffering is immense. Israel accuses Hamas of building military tunnels underneath hospitals, schools and mosques - charges the militant group denies.
The PA exercises limited autonomy in only parts of the West Bank, and Abbas said it could only potentially return to power in Gaza if a"comprehensive political solution" is found for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The ministers are expected to call in a joint statement for"humanitarian pauses" in Gaza, while stopping short of urging a ceasefire - in line with US policy on the war.
Clutching one of her toddlers, Amira al-Sakani said she fled Gaza City after coming across the air-dropped Israeli flyers.
