Deadly attacks: 38 dead in the Gaza Strip - escalation of violence!

The Israeli army announced that it would further strengthen its military activities in the Gaza Strip. According to media reports, Israeli military leadership plans to control three quarters of the Gaza Strip within a few weeks. The Israeli army is currently checking around 40 percent of the area. The main goal of this offensive is the complete defeat of the Hamas and the liberation of hostages that have been in force since the beginning of the conflict. General chief Ejal Zamir said that Hamas was under considerable pressure.

Humanitarian location in the Gaza Strip

In the middle of the military escalation, aid deliveries are also a central topic. On Sunday, 107 trucks with urgently needed aid goods reached the Gaza Strip. These deliveries included flour and other foods and were previously checked by authorities. The trucks passed the Kerem Shalom border crossing and come from the United Nations and the International Community. Israel had blocked all aid deliveries in March, but under international pressure it raised this blockade again. Nevertheless, the UN and aid organizations emphasize that the auxiliary deliveries are inadequate.

A look at the humanitarian situation illustrates the catastrophic conditions for the civilian population. Many civilians who have fled before the fights are severely restricted in their freedom of movement. Violence leads to a dramatic deterioration in living conditions in the Gaza Strip.

ceasefire again in danger

to remember: On January 15, 2025, representatives of the Israeli government and Hamas agreed on a ceasefire that came into force on January 19. The agreement should apply for 42 days and provided for a complete stop of the fights. In this phase, the Israeli forces should withdraw from heavily inhabited areas. Despite this agreement, all parties continued to fight, which continued to hinder humanitarian aid and the reconstruction of the infrastructure.

According to current reports, over 46,000 Palestinians were killed during the conflicts. However, the course of negotiations is uncertain. Experts fear that the ceasefire will not last, which could lead to further disorders. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already warned that military measures could be necessary if negotiations should fail.
