Abood Okal woke up Monday morning to messages that took him back to the start of the devastating Israel-Hamas war ― specifically to Oct. 13, when Israeli jets dropped flyers in northern Gaza telling its more than 1 million residents to flee and he and his family scrambled to leave their homes on short notice.
Palestinians in Gaza are living through historic suffering. Experts saythey are enduring the most destructive military campaign of the 21st century and one of the most devastating offensives in modern history.

President Joe Biden’s administration has concluded its assessment of whether Israel is breaking international and American laws in its U.S.-backed military campaign in Gaza, and believes Israel’s conduct does not require Washington to cut off aid for the offensive, according to Axios and The Associated Press.
Hamas on Monday agreed to a proposal for a cease-fire in the war in Gaza, a senior leader of the group told HuffPost.
