The World Watches
Today in The World Watches, we focus on Gaza. As night gave way to gray morning over Gaza City, local authorities counted hundreds of deaths this week amid intensified IDF operations; Hamas demanded a 24‑hour pause to recover two Israeli hostages. A civilian aid flotilla relaunched to challenge the blockade, even as many Western allies now recognize a Palestinian state and the U.S. does not. Our historical check shows a pattern of civilians killed near aid queues and chronic shortfalls in trucks, fuel, and hospital power. This leads because the human impact is immense—displacement equal to multiple midsize cities—and because access variables, not speeches, decide whether clinics keep lights on.
