UK restaurateur seeks help
A London-based Sikh restaurateur pleaded for help, claiming fake Google reviews are hurting his business after he posted a video appearing to urge Israel to destroy more buildings in Gaza. The restaurateur said the video was posted weeks earlier, and he sought assistance in the wake of the backlash described in the Al Jazeera segment.
The Times of Israel described a year after a ceasefire ended, Gazans said they were still living like war never ended, with residents in tents and fearing daily airstrikes. Nael, a resident of Gaza City, told The Times of Israel by phone that he was preparing on Sunday to move back into his home after an Israeli airstrike during the Gaza war, and he said the new steps had cost him NIS 5,000.
Ceasefire ends, war persists
The Times of Israel said the Gaza Strip had seen little rehabilitation or return to normalcy since Oct. 2025, with residents still in tents and fearing daily airstrikes.
The article said Gazans and humanitarian monitors blamed conditions on more than Hamas or Israel, and it described Israeli airstrikes as a near-daily menace.
Ahmed, a Gazan who asked to be identified with a pseudonym, told The Times of Israel, "There’s anger at everyone," and he added, "Everyone in Gaza says nobody was honest with us."
The Times of Israel reported that the UN estimated that some 1.5 million people in Gaza were in need of emergency shelter assistance in October 2025.
Shelter, rubble, and electricity
The Times of Israel said a comprehensive May report by the World Bank and the United Nations concluded that the war caused "catastrophic destruction of the housing stock." The article reported that more than 1.2 million Palestinians in Gaza, roughly 60 percent of the population, had lost their homes to Israeli bombardment.
The Times of Israel said the UN’s Shelter Cluster reported that 65% of Gaza’s population, approximately 1.37 million people, were still living in tents and makeshift shelters that offer almost no protection from the elements. The article added that a July 2026 OCHA report said only 1% of the rubble had been cleared from roads and essential facilities by that point, and it said the electricity infrastructure had not been restored after 90% of it was destroyed amid the fighting.
