In mid-March, a Hamas commander warned a Gaza clan to stop taking aid meant for hungry Palestinians, threatening death if they continued. Soon after, the commander was killed by Israeli troops, reflecting the complex power struggle in the region. All three parties - Hamas, clans, and the Israeli military - are in conflict over control of north Gaza and aid distribution, further endangering an already troubled process. The situation has led to the looming threat of famine and reports of people dying from hunger, as confirmed by the Hamas-run health ministry.
