Report: Hamas losing its grip on Gaza
A source cited by Asharq Al-Awsat estimates Hamas effectively controls just 17% to 20% of the Gaza Strip, with its main stronghold in central Gaza.
Hamas has called for urgent repairs to Gaza's sewage and drainage systems following heavy rains that destroyed tens of thousands of tents. The political bureau chief of Hamas, Khalil al-Hayya, has urged for "unhindered" access for aid groups and called for Israel to allow more food and fuel into Gaza. Al-Hayya emphasized that the current situation in Gaza is no longer just a humanitarian crisis or natural consequence of war, but a complex reality where policies of starvation, systematic destruction, and the deliberate restriction of aid deliveries are intertwined.
