The Israeli attacks against Gaza have killed dozens of Palestinians since dawn, said medical sources, while limited supplies of humanitarian aid took place in the Palestinian territory after Israel attenuated its total blockade.
Medical sources told Tel Aviv Tribune that at least 51 people had been killed Thursday in Israeli attacks, including 25 in Gaza City and the northern strip regions.
At least 10 people, including nine members of the same family, were killed in an Israeli attack that struck an area to house people displaced in the Al-Baraka de Deir El-Balah region in the Gaza center, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
Five people were killed in an Israeli attack on the Bakhit family home in the Asftawi region in northwestern Gaza, Wafa reported.
In Beit Lahiya at the northern end of the enclave, a reservoir shell struck a medical warehouse inside the Al-Awda hospital and prompted it, said the Ministry of Health.
The rescuers had tried to put out the fires for hours, he added.
The tanks are parked outside the hospital, according to doctors, effectively blocking access to the establishment.
Help groups collect supplies
The attacks are involved while the aid groups have collected humanitarian supplies transported by around 90 trucks that have entered Gaza since Israel began to authorize goods limited earlier this week, the United Nations announced on Thursday.
Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the United Nations Humanitarian Agency OCHA, said that trucks that had entered medicine, wheat flour and nutrition supplies.
Aid groups are faced with significant challenges distributing aid due to insecurity, risk of looting and coordination problems with the Israeli authorities, added Laerke.
The Gaza government media office said late Wednesday that 87 aid trucks were allocated to international and local organizations to meet “urgent humanitarian needs”.
Tarek Abu Azzoum of Tel Aviv Tribune, postponing Deir El-Balah, said that the catering trucks had entered Wednesday and “managed to charge” in the designated United Nations distribution centers.
Since then, some bakeries have “resumed operations,” he said, citing the Gaza media office.
“It was a significant step forward,” said Abu Azzoum, but noted that supplies were always a “runoff” compared to the needs of the population in Gaza, where experts warn against imminent famine.
Due to safety problems, food aid has not yet reached the northern part of Gaza, where thousands of civilians are also as a seat, said our correspondent.
“The question here remains if Israel would allow an unconditional help flow to the Gaza Strip,” he said, adding that the UN asked at least 500 catering trucks daily in the territory after more than 80 days of a complete blockade.
On Wednesday, the UN said that he was trying to obtain desperately necessary help as quickly as possible in the hands of the Palestinians in the midst of delays due to fears of looting and Israeli military strikes and military strikes.
The Palestinians rushed to basic supplies after weeks of almost total isolation, the blockade of Israel leading to critical shortages of food and medicine, and fears of widespread famine.
According to the UN, half a million people, or one in five people in the Gaza Strip, are faced with famine while the whole population continues to deal with a critical risk of famine.
Pope Leo XIV described the situation in Gaza as “disturbing and painful” and called for “the entry of sufficient humanitarian aid”.
In recent days, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that Israel was a few days before the implementation of a new Gaza aid system that has undergone strong international criticism.
He said that Israel later planned to create a “sterile zone” there, without Hamas, where the population, which has evacuated and moved several times throughout the war, would be moved and would receive supplies.
The Gaza Ministry of Health said that at least 3,509 people had been killed since Israel resumed strikes on March 18. At least 53,655 have been killed since Israel launched its assault against Gaza in October 2023, according to the Palestinian health authorities.
