Deep dives
Israel's evacuation of Gazans and the humanitarian crisis
Israel has ordered the evacuation of 1.1 million Gazans from the north to the south of the Gaza Strip, causing immense upheaval and exacerbating the existing humanitarian catastrophe. The region has already lost access to electricity, and stories continue to emerge of the unspeakable brutality and horrific attacks by Hamas. Amidst this, Washington is non-functional, with no speaker in the House, hindering America's ability to respond effectively.
