Human rights groups call it "the world's largest open-air prison." The Gaza Strip, home to 2.3 million people, has come under heavy bombardment from Israel in recent days, after Hamas militants launched an unprecedented ground invasion and thousands of rockets into Israel from Gaza.
Israel has ordered a "complete" blockade of the already besieged area, saying that "no electricity, food or fuel" would be allowed into the enclave and raising alarm among some in the international community over what this might mean for the people of Gaza, who, with borders mostly closed, cannot leave.

Gaza has been a boiling point for years now. When people have no hope, no future, it will build resentment, until that resentment boils over into violence. Hamas has built on that.
No, I am not condoning the attacks by Hamas, but something should have been done about Gaza long ago.
