The Control, Impact, and Difficulties Faced in Gaza

Israel’s response to the brutal attacks by Hamas has been swift and devastating. The two million people who live in Gaza are now under a siege - they are quickly running out of food and water.

The one power station has shut down meaning an end to electricity supplies. Hamas has been ruling Gaza as a one-party state since 2007 and Israel has made it clear that it intends to wipe the group out.

Today on the podcast, Sky News data and forensic correspondent Tom Cheshire discusses the scale of the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, and Middle East Correspondent Alistair Bunkall tells us more about Hamas and what comes next, as Israel prepares a ground offensive.
