Hamas has extended the lockdown until Sunday, forcing most businesses to close and setting up checkpoints to limit movement.“We may have to shut down entire neighborhoods and lock up residents in their houses while providing them with what they need,” Tawfiq Abu Naim, the head of Hamas’ security services, told reporters.Many Gazans live day-to-day on meager wages earned at markets, shops, restaurants and cafes, all of which are shuttered.About two thirds of Gaza’s population are refugees whose families fled or were driven out during the 1948 war surrounding the creation of Israel.
