This issue gave a unique feature to the city of Gaza and this issue made the Zionist regime decide to destroy this city almost completely and has completely destroyed many areas and neighborhoods. The amount of destruction caused by the rocket barrage of the Zionist invaders in this city is very high, and many towers, apartments and residential buildings that housed hundreds of Palestinians have been completely destroyed, and the residents of the city have mostly been displaced and left for the southern regions. This happened as a result of air and missile attacks, as well as the ground attack on Gaza, which is still ongoing. Of course, the occupiers have recently withdrawn from the Hay al-Zitoun area, which is the largest and most concentrated area of ​​Gaza.

The Zionists have cut off water supply, fuel supply, gas supply and electricity to homes.

All upper and middle classes of poor Gaza have been

The only active Gaza crossing is the Rafah crossing on the border of the Arab Republic of Egypt, which used to send aid to Rafah and Khan Yunis and Central Province, but these aid did not reach Gaza City. Despite the passage of a long time, as a result of international pressure Due to the humanitarian, environmental and medical disasters in Gaza City, a few limited trucks of humanitarian aid were recently allowed to enter this city, but despite this, there is still a crisis of thirst and hunger in this city and these aids have been very little. Of course, these aids improved people’s lives to some extent, but this improvement is very minor and there is a possibility of returning to the previous conditions under the shadow of the continuation of the Zionist siege and the lack of improvement in the economic and livelihood conditions of the people of Gaza. Today, all the people of the city are in an economic crisis, and all of them have become poor, and all social classes have disappeared, and the upper or middle social classes no longer exist, and all of them are in need of humanitarian aid, and as a result of the war, they have no income.

This issue has become a challenge for the Zionist regime and a symbol of strengthening the stability of the people of Gaza so that they can continue to survive in this city.

They target these mobile markets with drones and quadcopters.
