Palestinian aid work demands “flood” of Gaza aids
UN organizations welcomed the resumption of larger aid deliveries in the Gaza Strip. However, a lot more is needed. Meanwhile, according to eyewitnesses, Israel continues his attacks.
UN organizations welcome the resumption of larger aid deliveries in the Gaza Strip, but they were far from sufficient. A “flood” of auxiliary goods is needed to prevent the hunger crisis from the population in the sealed coastal strip, explained the UN Palestinian aid work Unrwa on the platform X and called for the opening of all border crossings to the war zone.
The malnutrition among the approximately two million residents has “alarming dimensions”, warned the World Health Organization (WHO). Meanwhile, Israel’s army continued her attacks according to eyewitnesses and rescue workers at night. In an air raid on a residential building west of Chan Junis in the south of the coastal area, at least 12 people were killed and 20 others were injured, it said. This could not be checked independently. On the part of the Israeli army, there was no information on this for the time being.
The night earlier, Israel’s military had announced that the armed forces are currently in use in areas where the forces are currently not in use to meet a self -explanatory fire break every day between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. It applies in Al-Mawasi in the southwest, in Deir al-Balah in the center and in the city of Gaza in the north of the area. Apart from that, the fights against Islamist Hamas would continue, it said.
Trump finds the situation in the Gaza Strip “terrible”
US President Donald Trump described the situation in the war zone as “terrible”. It is “a chaos. This whole place is a chaos.” Trump promised that the United States would provide more help, but did not give any details. The United States would like to have other countries participating, he emphasized. The world nutrition program (WFP) explained to X of having enough food in the region or on the way there to ensure the supply of the entire population of the Gaza Strip for three months. “Now it’s time to act,” wrote WFP director Cindy McCain on X.
The Israeli military had announced that, in addition to the daily fire breaks, corridors from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. local time to enable the secure passage of convoys of the UN and other aid organizations. On Sunday, a column of around 100 trucks with relief goods drove into the Gaza Strip. UN-NOTILFECHEFT Tom Fletcher spoke of “progress” on X. In order to avert a famine and a catastrophic health crisis in the Gaza Strip, large amounts of other relief goods would be needed. According to Unrwa, at least 500 to 600 trucks are required. Every day.
WHO: malnutrition assumes “alarming proportions”
According to WHO information, there was a significant increase in deaths in connection with malnutrition in the sealed coastal area in July. The situation in the city of Gaza in the north of the area is particularly worrying. There, every fifth child under the age of five is acutely malnourished. The situation is also devastating in Chan Junis in the south.
“The crisis remains completely avoidable. The deliberate blockade and delay of food, health and humanitarian aid cost a large scale,” complained the WHO. Israel had largely blocked independent aid for Gaza for months and is therefore suspended massive international criticism. The fact that Israel’s military now announced steps to make it easier to deliver humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip is met with criticism in his own government.
The right-wing extremist minister Itamar Ben-Gvir described the step on X as a slap in the face of Israeli soldiers who fight the Islamist Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The delivery of humanitarian aid is synonymous with the “life preservation of the enemy”, wrote Ben-Gvir. He turned directly to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and demanded the stop of the latest aid deliveries. Ben-Gvir is an advocate of the idea of fully taking the Gaza strip and passing the Palestinian population.
Paris: Arab countries will condemn Hamas
At an international conference on the two-state solution in New York today, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot expects the first conviction of Hamas by Arab states. This will seal the final islamist organization, said Barrot of the French newspaper “La Tribune”. Hamas had de facto power in the Gaza Strip in 2007. After the attack by Hamas and other terrorist groups on Israel and the massacres of civilians on October 7, 2023, Israel’s army began with their use in Gaza to smash Hamas.
France President Emmanuel Macron announced on Thursday that his country – as the first state of the G7 – would recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September. At the two -day conference in New York today, you will “start an appeal to move other countries to join us,” said Barrot. Half of the European countries have already done this.
Great Britain and Germany initially did not follow Macron’s advance. Israel’s government strictly rejects him. In it she sees a “reward” for the terror of Hamas. According to their representation, a large part of the Palestinians supports Hamas – and therefore did not “deserve” its own state.
