Mike Baker: 我认为加沙地带正面临内战的风险，因为一个名为亚西尔·阿布·沙巴布的武装民兵正在挑战哈马斯在加沙南部的统治。这个名为“民众力量”的组织已经开始在东拉法建立控制，并声称要恢复秩序，确保人道主义援助能够送达家庭，避免“羞辱或政治胁迫”。然而，哈马斯指责阿布·沙巴布抢劫援助卡车，甚至暗示他与以色列有联系。虽然“民众力量”否认自己是民兵，但他们与哈马斯之间的冲突似乎已经开始。我认为，援助分配不仅仅是关于喂饱人民，而是关于权力和控制，如果另一个团体设法控制这条补给线，哈马斯将失去对人民的主要控制手段。加沙的氏族在政府结构崩溃时充当非正式权威，影响婚姻、商业交易、地方司法和政治效忠，在加沙的日常生活和政治斗争中发挥重要作用。
