In the early morning of the 23rd January, over 350,000 Palestinians surged into Egypt from the Gaza Strip after parts of the border wall were destroyed. Hundreds of thousands of Gazans rushed over the border, some frantically searching for loved ones, most desperate for food and fuel, which due to blockades on Gaza’s borders are in short supply. The chaos only highlights the extreme hardship endured by the Palestinian people. Approximately 1.5 million people are living under conditions of siege.
