Arwa Damon, a former journalist who now heads the International Network for Aid, Relief and Assistance , is closely monitoring the humanitarian conditions in Israel and the Gaza Strip following Hamas' attacks in Israel.
While Israel is equipped to respond to attacks like the ones carried out by Hamas, there are fewer resources for those in the Gaza Strip impacted by violence, Damon said. While Hamas has carried out attacks on Israel in the past, none have been as deadly as the one conducted over the weekend. Damon said this has Palestinians concerned over Israel's response, as Israel said it is conducting a"complete siege" on the Gaza Strip.
"I was actually just messaging with a friend of mine last night and she's in Gaza and she wrote back to me saying, 'My aunt's entire family was killed, 20 of my relatives were killed in one building and they didn't get the warning strike,'" Damon said.
