Stepping of aid: Drama in the Gaza Strip-the hostages are in danger!
The situation in the Gaza strip escalates again! Israel imposed a full stop of all humanitarian aid deliveries to the sealed -out area on Sunday, which will have direct consequences for the two million Palestinians there. The reason for this drastic decision is the refusal of the radical Islamic Hamas to accept the US proposal for the extension of the ceasefire and the release of all Israeli hostages, as the reported the press . Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made it clear: "From this morning on this morning, all imports of goods and deliveries are stopped in the Gaza Strip." With this measure, Israel massively increases the pressure on Hamas, while the international community is concerned about the humanitarian crisis.
Uno-General Secretary António Gutrees and the UN Nothilfekoordinator Tom Fletcher underlined the urgency to resume immediate aid deliveries. "We have to get help and get the hostages out," said Fletcher, recalling international law, which prescribes the delivery of life -saving help for civilians. The aid organization doctors without borders also criticized Israel's decision sharply, the humanitarian situation becomes even more precarious, such as the Kleine Zeitung Caroline Seguin, the organization's emergency aid coordinator, described the stop as "unacceptable" and warns of devastating consequences.
Follow the blockade
In view of these developments, the fear of the 59 Israeli hostages that are in Hamas' violence increases. Netanyahu's decision is made at the beginning of the Holy Lent Month and could further tighten the already dramatic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. The Norwegian Foreign Minister noticed that although the bombing no longer takes place, the humanitarian situation is still catastrophic. Israeli media also report on the Israeli army training measures for a possible renewed outbreak of war, which further fueled the tense situation.The Hamas, on the other hand, accuses Israel of violating the ceasefire agreements and describes the stop of the auxiliary deliveries as "unscrupulous blackmail". These developments show how fragile the ceasefire is and what direct effects the political decisions on the life of the civilian population can have in the Gaza Strip
