The Israeli army claims to have struck 230 targets in the Gaza Strip this Thursday. She also reportedly found weapons near a school in Jabalia and in other Hamas tunnels.
Most Gazans no longer know where to shelter or where to find water and food… The United Nations Emergency Relief Coordinator, Martin Griffiths, described the increase in the death toll as a“tragic and shameful step”. The Security Council is expected to discuss a draft resolution calling for a truce.
The coordinator of WHO emergency medical teams, Sean Casey, says that the inhabitants of the enclave lack everything: “The time has come. We are now dealing with hungry people. Adults, children. And it’s unbearable. Everywhere we go, people are asking for food, even in the hospital.”
According to Hamas, the human toll in the Gaza Strip exceeds 20,000 deaths. The Islamist movement, which rejected the Israeli proposal to begin a seven-day truce in exchange for 40 Israeli prisoners, announced it would fire several missiles against Tel Aviv, believing that it was a “response to Israeli massacres of civilians”.
