Israeli attacks kill dozens because the UN attacks require the cruel Gaza blockade | Israel-Palestine conflict news

Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip killed at least 29 people, said the civil protection authority in the Gaza, as the United Nations demanded that Israel cancel its blockade of the Palestinian territory and allow humanitarian aid to admission.

According to the civil protection officer Mohammed El-Mougher, at least eight people were killed in an Israeli attack in which the house of the Abu Sahlul family was hit in the Khan Younis refugee camp in southern Gaza.

Four more were killed in an air raid in the Tuffah district in the city of Gaza, east of Shaaf, and at least 17 were killed in other attacks in the entire enclave on Thursday, including a strike against a tent housing near Deir el-Balah.

Witnesses told the AFP news agency about a trace of devastation in Khan Younis. “We came here and destroyed all of these houses and bombed children, women and young people to pieces,” said Ahmed Abu Zarqa. “Enough, we are tired. We no longer know what to do with our lives. We would rather die rather than live this kind of life.”

“Help should never be a negotiation chip”

The bombing takes place in the middle of poor warnings of the humanitarian situation in the besieged area, which has been under an Israeli blockade for two months.

Volker Turk, the UN Head of Head, said that the conditions imposed by Israel in Gaza Israel are “increasingly incompatible with their continuation of existence as a group”. He warned that this hunger as a method of war could mean a war crime.

The humanitarian crisis in the Gaza has reached a catastrophic level, with the Palestinians fluctuating on the edge of the mass rifle, according to al Jazeeras Tarec Abu Azzoum, which reports on the ground.

“Parents literally started skipping meals, and children are now eating spoiled food. Provisions have become a luxury,” he said. AID-supported bakeries have closed due to heavy bottlenecks, while the world food program is no longer in stock and the soup kitchens are overwhelmed and remains hardly ready for operation.

“Local, persistent humanitarian corridors demand that meaningful help can only occur if Israel allowed them,” he added. With the blockade in the second month, many in Gaza have the feeling that they not only suffer a humanitarian emergency, but also a “technical misery” that has unleashed famine on a devastating scale.

Tom Fletcher, the Humanitarian head of the United Nations, repeated these concerns on Thursday. “Help, and the civil life that saves it should never be a trial,” he said.

“Blocking of help kills. It causes cruel collective punishment.” He criticized an Israeli proposal for the private distribution of help in Gaza and inadequate him and not with the humanitarian fundamental principles.

“We say again for the Israeli authorities and those who can still argue with them: Lift this brutal blockade. Let humanitarian life saved,” he said.

UN agencies, including Unrwa, said that more than 3,000 auxiliary cars are on the border between Gaza Strip and are unable to deliver essential supplies. About a million children are said to be at risk. “The siege has to be removed,” said Unrwa in one post on X.

Qatar beats Israel at ICJ

The obligations of Israel to provide humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank are also the subject of a week -long hearing at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), on request for a consulting opinion of the UN General Assembly last year.

On the fourth day of the hearings on Thursday, Katar's ambassador in the Netherlands, Mutlaq al-Qahtani, announced that the Israel court continued its “genocidal war against the Palestinian people” and strengthened the settlement efforts in the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinians in the Gaza continue

Israel has endangered the existence of the UN Agency for Palestine refugees, Unrwa, which is the “backbone” of humanitarian and development aid in the occupied area.
