Location at a glance: Help achieves people in Gaza – “drops in the ocean”

After an eleven -week blockade by Israel, the first relief supplies with days of delay have arrived in the Gaza Strip in needy people. 87 trucks with goods such as flour, baby food and medical needs had started from the Kerem Schalom border crossing on Thursday and reached Deir Al-Balah and Chan Junis in the south of the sealed coastal area, said Dschihad Islim, Vice President of the Association of Private Pediteers in Gaza. However, the quantities arrived so far are only a drop on the hot stone, emphasized helpers.

Some bakeries began to bake bread at dawn and distribute it to the residents, bakers and other eyewitnesses reported on Thursday. Israel had lifted the almost three -month blockade of humanitarian aid goods on Sunday – the trucks, which were then left into the coastal area, stood within the Gaza strip near the border crossing for days because the route proposed for them was too dangerous, according to the UN.

UN-NOTILFECHEF: Aid goods are not enough

UN-NOTILFECHEN Tom Fletcher welcomed that the first truck loads were delivered; However, they are only “a drop in the ocean compared to what is urgently needed,” he said. Before the start of the Gaza War, around 500 trucks with relief goods came into the coastal strips a day.

“Because of the uncertainty, the risk of looting, the delays in the coordination of permits and the routes provided by the Israeli armed forces, which are not suitable for the transport of goods, there are still considerable problems with the loading and dispatch of goods,” said the UN NOTHILLIFIC OCHA.

Amdschad Schawa, the director of the Palestinian NGO network in Gaza, said that no relief supplies would have reached the north of Gazas. However, the need is particularly high there. Aid organizations have warned of acute famine among the 2.1 million inhabitants of the Gaza Strip. The Health Minister of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, Majed Abu Ramadan, said, according to the Arab TV broadcaster Al Jasira, that at least 29 children and older people have died “hungry” due to the past few days. The information could not be checked independently.

Israel had blocked all aid deliveries in early March and resumed his military offensive two weeks later, which ended a two -month ceasefire with the Islamist Hamas. This should increase the pressure on the terrorist organization to relieve the remaining kidnapped kidnapped. According to Israeli information, at least 20 hostages are still being held in the Gaza Strip.

Israel claimed that there was no lack of relief goods and accuses Hamas to steal them to pass them on to their fighters or to sell them profitably on the black market. Hamas denies that. The UN also say that Israel has not presented any evidence of this.

Netanyahu makes critics serious allegations

Because of Israel’s new major offensive and the blockade of relief goods, there was a lot of international criticism of the country. The heads of state and government of France, Canada and Great Britain “believed Hamas’s propaganda that Israel had Palestinian children starved,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday. “I say to President Macron, Prime Minister Carney and Prime Minister Starmer: If mass murderers, rapists, baby sponsors and kidnappers thank you, you are on the wrong side of justice,” he said.

Netanyahu had previously explained that he had a limited amount of food so that the Israeli military could continue its recently expanded soil offensive and take over full control over the Gaza Strip. Israel and the United States plan to reorganize humanitarian aid. US security companies are intended to set up and operate distribution centers. According to Netanyahu, this should happen in the coming days. Israel wants to avoid and other aid organizations. These reject the plans because they did not fulfill the minimum requirements of humanitarian aid.

The Gaza War triggered was the worst massacre in the history of Israel, which Hamas and other terrorist groups had committed on October 7, 2023. Around 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 were dragged into the Gaza strip as hostages. According to the health authority controlled by the Hamas, more than 53,600 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the beginning of the war. The number does not differentiate between fighters and civilians and can hardly be checked independently.
