On Wednesday morning, Israel launched intense bombardment on the central and northern Gaza Strip, resulting in deaths and injuries, while the humanitarian crisis worsened amid warnings of hunger and severe thirst.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that two people were killed and others were injured in an Israeli bombing on the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip. The reporter reported that the north of the Nuseirat camp was witnessing an active movement of occupation vehicles, coinciding with violent artillery shelling and smoke shells.
He added that the occupation boats were firing intensely towards the beaches of Nuseirat and Al-Zahraa, northwest of the Central Governorate.
A fire broke out in a house in the New Camp area as a result of continued shelling north of Nuseirat, and drones fired intensely at citizens’ homes.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent had previously reported that 6 Palestinians, including children and women, were killed and others injured in an Israeli bombing that targeted a residential apartment inside a house in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City, at dawn today.
Sirens
On the other hand, Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that sirens sounded in several towns around Gaza.
The Israeli army said that it monitored the launch of a suspicious air object from the Gaza Strip and its landing in the cover areas.
For its part, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth said that the sirens sounded as a warning of a drone infiltration for the first time since last November.
Israeli Channel 12 reported that after about 40 days of fighting, the army is still far from achieving the tasks assigned to it in Rafah.
Since May 6, the Israeli army has launched a ground attack on Rafah, forcing more than a million Palestinians to flee in catastrophic conditions.
Chaos, panic and thirst
On the humanitarian side, the United Nations confirmed that it was unable to distribute aid in the Gaza Strip from the Kerem Shalom crossing, which is controlled by the Israeli occupation, due to chaos and panic in the region.
United Nations spokesman Farhan Haq said that the United Nations welcomed the step to stop the Israeli occupation attacks from five in the morning until four in the evening UTC in the area extending from the Kerem Shalom crossing to Salah al-Din Road and then towards the north in Gaza.
But he warned that this pause has not yet translated into more aid reaching those in need, adding that the aforementioned area is very dangerous.
He added that the fighting is not the only reason for the inability to receive aid, pointing out that there is no rule of law in the region, which makes transporting goods there very dangerous, pointing out that the United Nations is ready to deal with all parties to ensure that aid reaches the people in Gaza.
For its part, the Government Information Office in the Gaza Strip warned that hundreds of thousands in the northern Strip were exposed to thirst as a result of the intensification of the shortage of potable water.
This crisis resulted from the occupation army’s destruction of water desalination plants and wells in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, in addition to the lack of fuel needed to operate water pumps.
