Why is the US reinforcing military assets in the Middle East?

The United States has deployed two aircraft carriers and fighter jets to the Middle East during Israel’s war on Gaza.

We don’t know anything also about the medical conditions of doctors, medical workers, even at the Al-Shifa Hospital [the largest in Gaza]. The situation is catastrophic right now. We can no longer communicate with the international community to send our voice to the world to know what is happening on the ground. I hope that this message might reach […]
