Many women and children among 13 dead in the last Israeli air attacks in Gaza.
Israel has maintained an eight -week block over food, medicine and help to enter Gaza, while air attacks against houses and tent shelters continue, which describes what the United Nations describes as the “worst humanitarian crisis” of war.
During the night and early Thursday, at least 13 people were killed in Israeli attacks, according to Al Jazeera correspondents. Among the dead were three children in a tent near Nuseirat in downtown Gaza, and a woman and four children in a house in the city of Gaza.
According to the reports, also killed in an attack recently was the local journalist Saeed Abu Hassanein, whose death adds to at least 232 reporters killed in Gaza Duration the War.
“The Gaza Strip is witnessing a clear military escalation and a very high humanitarian crisis,” said Tareq Abu Azzoum from Al Jazeera del Centro de Gaza de Deir El-Balah. He pointed out that rescuers, with much of their damaged or destroyed team, are increasingly fighting to reach the victims trapped under remains.
The Communication Center of the Palestinian Authority, which governs Cisjordanian occupied, said that “there was no pause”, “without mercy”, “without humanity” to the attacks of Israel. The statement accompanied video images that show an Israeli tank that moves through the apparent remains of the Shaboura refugee camp in southern Gaza.
“In the Shaboura refugee camp, as in any other corner of Gaza, the devastation never ends,” said the center.
The humanitarian crisis of Gaza is aggravated by the blocking of continuous aid of Israel, which the interim chief of the UN Office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs (OCA) has described as an apparent “deliberate dismantling of Palestinian life.”
“The Gaza Strip now probably faces the humanitarian crisis of sausages in the 18 months after the escalation of hostilities in October 2023,” Ocha said in his last situation update on April 23.
The Gaza Ministry of Health highlighted the “dangerous and catastrophic” cost of women and children facing malnutrition, and many lack food, drinking water and baby formula.
Israel’s continuous negative to leave Gaza for help challenges a global court order that dates back to May 2024 so that urgent facilitation help in the enclave to prevent famine and hunger.
