GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip As darkness falls on Gaza City, families gather on the beach, their surroundings illuminated only by the faint glow of vendor stalls and the flicker of a few cellphones. Here, amid the stifling heat and a landscape scarred by war, people seek a momentary escape, clinging to remnants of normal life despite having been displaced repeatedly over nearly two years of conflict.
Beyond the shoreline, Israeli forces intensify operations, targeting buildings as part of a broader offensive to seize the city. With strikes possible at any moment, even this fragile refuge may soon vanish, replaced by orders to move south into overcrowded tent camps. Food remains scarce and unaffordable on vendor carts scattered across the sand, as aid struggles to keep pace with need. Experts now say Gaza City is mired in famine. In a city stripped of its infrastructure and burdened by repeated devastation, the sea remains the last, flickering lifeline for many Gazans, offering solace in the face of unrelenting devastation.
