<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">For Palestinians, last week was a week without water, internet, or even very little power. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The United Nations expressed grave concern over the collective punishment of Palestinians and issued a warning regarding potential war crimes.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The UN has demanded immediate humanitarian assistance for Gaza.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Those who live in Chicago and the United States and have loved ones in Gaza are becoming increasingly concerned because of the ongoing and intensifying conflict.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">They are unaware of the situation on the ground and the well-being of their loved ones.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Further, many people are worried about how the internet blackout will impact the rest of the world's ability to obtain information, videos, and photos that depict what is occurring in real-time in Gaza, in addition to the communication breakdown.</p>
