Two weeks on from the savage assault on Israeli civilians by Hamas that left 1,400 men, women and children dead, Israel’s fierce response continues to ramp up. 3,785 Palestinians have been killed and 12,493 wounded, the health ministry in Gaza said on Thursday. Hundreds of those were killed at a hospital in an incident that enflamed the Middle East but that Israel denies responsibility for. With no water, food or fuel getting in, and its citizens having nowhere to go, a dire humanitarian crisis is growing.On today’s In the News podcast, Tel Aviv-based journalist Hannah McCarthy gives an overview of the Hamas-Israel war. In a recording interrupted by an incoming missile warning, she explains the current situation, explores the impact of the visit of US president Joe Biden, the likelihood of a planned ground invasion of Gaza and the information war that has been a feature of this bloody conflict. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Declan Conlon and John Casey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
