Israeli air strikes kill 200 in Gaza, and stops help after theft

On Saturday, at least 200 people were killed in Israeli air strips in northern Gaza Strip. This development illustrates the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the area, where tens of thousands of people have died through the Israeli military and chronic famines threaten the remaining civilian population. On Friday, two children and a woman Essen to buy in a bakery, overwhelmed .

tightening of the conflict and humanitarian crisis

The fatal attacks take place at a time when a restless" Waffenruhe between Israel and the Hisbollah in Lebanon, which should enable the Israeli armed forces to focus on gaza. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital, reported CNN on Sunday that five buildings with over 200 people were met in the Tal Zaatar and Beit Lahiya regions.

"You called for help, and everyone who tried to help was bombarded. Unfortunately, the calls for help have been silent; they were killed," said Dr. Abu Safiya. The attack in Tel Al Zaatar left more than 100 people behind the ruins, of which only one person could be saved. "These scenes have become a daily sight and nobody is held responsible; nobody can stop killing innocent people."

number of victims and humanitarian situation in Gaza

The spokesman for the civil protection authority Gazas reported that more than 40 members of the “Al-Araj” family were killed in a single attack on a building in the Tel Al Zaatar district. According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, at least 44,429 people have been killed since the beginning of the war and more than 105,000 were injured. However, this number could be an understatement, since many areas in northern Gaza are inaccessible and numerous victims never get to a hospital to be counted.

and stops aid deliveries

The fatal air strikes fell together with the theft of trucks that should transport food and other relief supplies in the besieged Gaza strip. As a result, the UN Aid Work for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) had to stop delivering auxiliary deliveries about the main crossing between Israel and Gaza. The Unrwa boss Philippe Lazzarini warned on Sunday that the "difficult decision" to stop deliveries about Kerem Shalom was hit at a time when "hunger increases quickly".

The decision was made after some food trucks were “stolen” on Saturday, as he announced on platform X. A source involved in the transmission of relief goods within Gazas said CNN that five more truck loaded with flour was stolen near the transition on Sunday.

responsibility for the humanitarian situation

"The streets for this transition have not been certain for months," said Lazzarini in his contribution and referred to an incident of November 16, when almost 100 auxiliary trucks were stolen from armed gangs , which Unrwa described as "one of the worst" incidents of this kind. Humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip has thus become "unnecessarily impossible", since additional hurdles were created both by the Israeli authorities and through political decisions regarding the limitation of the relief goods that led to the dissolution of the law and order in the enclave.

Lazzarini emphasized that Israel was responsible for the protection of auxiliary workers and relief goods as a occupying power. The Israeli authorities "have to ensure that relief supplies get to Gaza safely and should refrain from attacks on humanitarian workers," said his claim. CNN has the Israeli authority of Cogat, which is responsible for the approval of aid deliveries to Gaza, to ask for an opinion.
