Bloody attack: 44 dead and protests in the crisis -shaped Gaza!

in the Gaza Strip, where the humanitarian situation is increasingly precarious, at least 44 people were killed in Israeli air strikes on April 6, 2025, as the civil protection of Hamas reported. Dozens of other injuries must also be complained about. The air raid was particularly directed against the city of Khan Younis in the south of the Gaza Strip, where there are 21 deaths alone. These attacks are part of the escalation that has started again since mid -March after a ceasefire that had been ended since January 19.

The Israeli army has also started a new soil on the Gaza Strip, which further tightens the already tense situation. Under these difficult conditions, there were protests from hundreds of Palestinians in the Jabalija refugee camp, who were directed against Israel and Hamas. The demonstrators held posters with slogans like "Hamas is terrorism!" high and blamed the militant groups for the deterioration of the humanitarian situation.

protests against Hamas and the humanitarian crisis

The protests are also a reaction to the blockade of the area that was imposed in early March, and the associated difficulties in accepting humanitarian aid. In view of the catastrophic conditions in the refugee camps, many people live in provisional tent camps and are dependent on relief goods. Despite the arrival of 100 trucks with food and other necessary aid goods, the distribution is insufficient, especially in the north of Gazas.

aid organizations report great difficulties to distribute the goods while a famine is reported at the same time. The WHO informed that the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip had to be interrupted due to the fights, which further exacerbates the health situation. In view of the continuing fights in northern Gazas, where a hospital was stormed, international actors are trying to negotiate peace and humanitarian aid behind the scenes.

The reports about the situation in the Gaza Strip are often difficult to verify, but the numbers from different sources indicate a worrying extent of the humanitarian crisis, which is reinforced by the continuing conflicts. The international community is responsible for taking measures and offering support, because the humanitarian situation is devastating and the basic needs of many people are not covered.

The conflict has not only local, but also regional dimensions, with reports on fights in the south of Lebanon and the destruction of the Hezbollah command chain through the Israeli army. In these turbulent times it is more important than ever to draw attention to the emergency of the civilian population in the Gaza Strip that suffers from the passionate arguments.
