Rescuers said that at least 44 people died in the Gaza Strip in the Israeli attack on Thursday. After more than two months of blockade, aid has finally arrived in Gaza, but the humanitarian situation is still dire after 18 months of devastating war.
According to food security experts, one in five people in Gaza is at risk of starvation.
"At least 44 people have died in the Israeli attack, including 23 people who were killed in an attack on a house in al-Burez," Gaza's civil security official Mohammad al-Mughair told AFP. The aid distribution centers run by the Palestinian Authority in southern Gaza are currently becoming a risk zone. It is said that at least 10 people were killed in the last three days when Israeli soldiers opened fire on the crowd, which was becoming chaotic due to hunger. It is being criticized by the United Nations and the European Union.
What is happening to us is insulting. The crowd is humiliating us," said Sovi Arif, a resident of Gaza who visited the GHF center on Thursday. "We run to the aid center to find a bag of flour to feed our children, but our lives are more at risk there." In a statement, the Israeli army said, "Dozens of terrorist targets were attacked in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday." In a telephone conversation with European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas on Thursday, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said that Israel's "starvation strategy exceeds all moral and legal limits."
2023 After the attack by Hamas on October 7, the Israeli army has been continuously attacking Hamas. According to the Ministry of Health of Gaza, at least 54 thousand 249 Palestinians have died and 123 thousand 492 people have been injured in the Israel-Hamas war. The government media office has reported that more than 61,700 people have died, and it is estimated that thousands of people may be missing or killed in the rubble.
