Humanitarian crisis
Gaza reaches column of 100 trucks with auxiliary deliveries
Many people in sealed coastal strips suffer hunger. Since March, Israel has only had a few aid deliveries. In view of the growing criticism, the military has now announced a U -turn.
Against the background of an impending hunger crisis in the Gaza strip for the first time in months in the large scale, aid deliveries reach the sealed and contested coastal area: On Sunday, a column of around 100 trucks with goods for the needy population over the Israeli border crossing Kerem Schalom drove into the Gaza Strip, as sources in the Palestinian area confirmed.
A few hours earlier, the Israeli military had announced that it would be a self -declared humanitarian break in parts of the Gaza Strip until revocation every day from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time. The break in the areas where the army does not operate: Al-Mawasi in the southwest of the sealed coastal strip, in Deir al-Balah in the center and in the city of Gaza in the north.
Furthermore, corridors would be set up from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. to 11 p.m. to enable the confo and other aid organizations to pass through the convoys that deliver and distribute food and medication to the population throughout the Gaza Strip.
The UN Nothilfekoordinator Tom Fletcher welcomed the announcement of the Israeli military. “With our teams on site we will do everything we can to achieve as many hungry people as possible in this time window,” he wrote on the X.
With the opening of humanitarian corridors and the temporary settings of the fighting, Israel reacted to his warfare in the Palestinian area. Since the end of a ceasefire by Israel in March, only a few relief supplies have reached there.
The World Health Organization WHO recently warned of a fatal hunger crisis among the approximately two million inhabitants of the Gaza Strip. Israel denies the risk of a fatal hunger crisis and instead speaks of a “campaign” of the Islamist Hamas.
The trigger of the Gaza War was the attack by Hamas and other Islamist terrorist organizations to Israel on October 7, 2023, in which around 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 were delayed as hostages into the Gaza strips. Since then, almost 60,000 people have been killed, according to the health authority controlled by the Hamas. The independent information that cannot be verified do not distinguish between civilians and fighters. However, they are considered largely reliable by UN organizations.
