Grief in Gaza: 33 deaths in Israeli attacks - focus on children!
According to Palestinian reports, at least 33 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza War. Dozens of other people were injured. In a small town near Khan Younis, which is located in the south of the Gaza Strip, eleven people died in an air raid. Most victims are minors, as the Palestinian news agency Wafa reports. The attacks also killed six Palestinians who were to protect auxiliary transports for the population from looters. The humanitarian situation in the region is catastrophic, since the distribution of urgently needed auxiliary goods is hindered by looting, some of which are from armed groups.On Thursday, 107 trucks with food and medication were able to enter the Gaza Strip via the Kerem Shalom border crossing. Nevertheless, the conditions for the civilian population remain extremely tense, since the Israeli army continues to perform operations against "terrorist organizations" throughout the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military reported that several terrorists were eliminated and military facilities and arms camps were attacked on this day, with over 75 destinations being targeted, including rocket shot ramps.
ceasefire and geopolitical tensions
The repeated attacks come after a time when the location in the Gaza Strip was once characterized by a ceasefire for a short time. This was reached in mid -January with the mediation of Egypt, Qatar and the USA. However, two weeks ago, Israel reported all the deliveries of food, medication, fuel and electricity to the Gaza strip two weeks ago to move the Hamas to accept a new proposal to release hostages. However, the proposal did not come about because Hamas rejected the conditions.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, under pressure from right -wing extremist coalition partners, announced that it would strengthen the attacks in the Gaza Strip. This decision could have a significant impact on the civilian population, which already suffers from serious humanitarian conditions. Numerous civilian victims, including women and children, have not only been mentioned in the current attacks, but also in the past few weeks in reports of the health authority controlled by Hamas, which has given a number of over 400 deaths since the beginning of the renewed fights.
Current fighting and humanitarian crisis
The human and material losses due to the ongoing fights are correspondingly alarming. In the Chan Yunis refugee camp, which was also attacked, the conditions are catastrophic. Many people live in provisional tent camps and the supply of vital goods is severely restricted. While 100 trucks came to the region with relief goods on Wednesday, local sources point out that they could not be distributed sufficiently. A polio vaccination campaign was also interrupted because the necessary security zones have shrunk for vaccinations, which also tightens the health hazard of the population.
The reports about the current situation in the Gaza Strip are difficult to verify because both the Palestinian and the Israeli side provide information that is influenced by different interests. While Hamas accuses Israel of having broken the ceasefire, the Israeli military announces that it will continuously act against terrorist threats.
The conflict also has an impact on geopolitical tensions in the region. The Huthi-Miliz in Yemen, supported by Iran, has announced that they are reorganizing their attacks on ships in the Red Sea and in the Gulf of Aden, while the USA bombed Huthi goals in response. The situation in the nearby Lebanon, where battles between Israel and the Hisbollah increase, could continue to heat the tensions.
