00:09

We are putting a complete siege on Gaza.

00:13

No electricity...

00:15

no food, no water, no gas.

00:17

It's all closed.

00:21

We're fighting animals and are acting accordingly.

00:26

That was the defense minister of Israel...

00:28

responding to the deadly attack on October 7th by Hamas...

00:32

a militant group based in Gaza.

00:35

Hamas launched rockets, killed over 1,400 civilians...

00:39

and kidnapped close to 200 people.

00:42

Within days, Israel bombarded the Gaza Strip...

00:46

killing several thousand, wiping out entire families...

00:49

and striking ambulances, border crossings...

00:52

and residential buildings.

00:54

At the same time, Israel told over 1 million civilians...

00:58

to leave their homes and move south.

01:00

Warning them of an escalation of violence in the north.

01:04

But Israel is bombarding the south, too.

01:08

Leaving Palestinians trapped.

01:10

For as long as this conflict has existed...

01:13

movement in and out of the Gaza Strip...

01:16

has been, to one degree or another, restricted.

01:20

The prime minister of the Israeli occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu...

01:25

he knows very well

01:27

that people are not able to leave.

01:40

The Gaza Strip is the smaller of the two Palestinian territories

01:43

occupied by Israel since 1967.

01:47

This sliver of land only 25 miles long and 7.5 miles wide...

01:51

is home to over 2 million Palestinians.

01:54

Making it one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

01:59

For the last 16 years

02:00

residents here have been living under a harsh blockade...

02:03

that allows Israel to control the flow of electricity, fuel

02:07

food, water, and medical supplies.

02:10

So they can dictate when Palestinians receive essentials...

02:13

and when they're denied.

02:16

That control is rooted in violence and destruction...

02:20

that goes back decades.

02:24

Before the establishment of Israel...

02:26

Gaza was part of what became known as historic Palestine...

02:30

under Ottoman rule and later under British occupation.

02:35

In 1947, as the British prepared to leave...

02:38

they left the fate of Palestine...

02:40

up to a newly formed United Nations...

02:42

who voted to divide Palestine into a Jewish state...

02:45

and an Arab state.

02:47

Soon, Zionist forces and militias began to forcibly expel

02:51

hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their land...

02:53

to establish the state of Israel.

02:56

Many internally displaced Palestinians

02:59

fled to this narrow stretch of land...

03:01

that would later become known as the Gaza Strip.

03:04

So these refugees became refugees because...

03:08

they were pushed out of their towns and villages.

03:11

Some of them literally live a mile away from

03:13

what used to be their towns and villages.

03:16

Many others were forced to flee to neighboring Arab countries.

03:20

Overwhelmed by refugees...

03:22

these countries immediately declared a war

03:24

against the new state of Israel to support Palestinian Arabs.

03:29

They eventually lost to Israel...

03:30

but Jordan ended up occupying the West Bank
