On Wednesday, the World Food Program once again announced that it would suspend the distribution of aid in the north of the Palestinian enclave. The cause is security problems in this area, prey, according to the organization, to “chaos and violence”.
The day after Israeli bombings, which left at least 67 dead according to Hamas, residents of Deir al-Balah, in the center of the Gaza Strip, noted the damage.
In the middle of these ruins, they try as best they can to survive. But everywhere in the enclave, the situation remains alarming. “Gaza has become a death zone,” according to the head of the World Health Organization, who denounces “inhumane” living conditions.
“More than 29,000 people are dead, many more are missing, presumed dead, and many, many more are injured. Severe malnutrition has increased dramatically since the start of the war, from less than 1% to more than 15% in some areas“, said Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus.
Many countries are hoping for a favorable outcome to this conflict, perhaps with a two-state solution. But the Israeli Parliament voted on Wednesday in favor of a resolution by the Prime Minister opposing the ‘unilateral’ creation of a Palestinian state.
“The people of Israel and their elected representatives are united today as never before. The Knesset voted overwhelmingly to oppose any attempt to unilaterally impose a Palestinian state on Israel. Peace will be possible when we achieve total victory over Hamas” Benjamin Netanyahu said in the Knesset.
In the south of the Gaza Strip, the IDF continues its operations, notably in Khan Younes, where a shot against a building housing Doctors Without Borders employees left at least two dead, according to the NGO.
The Israeli army is also intensifying its bombings in Rafah, where more than 1.4 million people are crowded. Despite international warnings, Israel is preparing for a major offensive in the city.
