The meager aid convoy of 20 trucks carrying food and medicine will offer Gazans little reprieve. Meanwhile, Israel continues its genocidal bombing campaign while stepping up its arrests in the West Bank and skirmishes with Hezbollah.
Due to the destruction Israel wrought at the Rafah crossing and to roads, moving humanitarian aid into Gaza is currently impossible. Meanwhile, Israel has renewed its indiscriminate airstrikes with U.S. diplomatic cover.
As the humanitarian conditions in Gaza become “catastrophic,” tensions continue to rise on the border with Lebanon as Israel orders the evacuation of more settlements. Meanwhile, Israel denies rumors of a ceasefire.
Gaza is burying its dead in mass graves after suffering the deadliest day since the Israeli assault began. Tens of thousands have sought refuge in southern Gaza and 2.3 million Palestinians are almost out of water and food, agencies warn.
The death toll in Gaza is expected to rise drastically as Israel instructed over 1 million Palestinians to evacuate from the north of the Gaza Strip within 24 hours to “save themselves.” A Palestinian Red Crescent spokesperson said, “Forget about food, forget about electricity, forget about fuel. The only concern now is just if you’ll make it, if you’re going to live.”
Israel orders 1.1 million people to flee Gaza City within 24 hours to carry out ethnic cleansing and genocide. Meanwhile in the West Bank and Jerusalem, Palestinians took to the streets in a “Day of Rage.”
Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip entered its fourth day as the death toll inside Gaza surpassed 770, with more than 4,000 injuries as a result of airstrikes. Among the dead are at least 140 children, according to Palestinian health sources.
Fighting between Israel and Palestinian resistance factions, led by Hamas in Gaza, continued into their third day on Monday, as Israel declared a complete siege of Gaza. “No power, no food, no gas, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly,” announced Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed over the past 24 hours as Israel bombarded the Gaza Strip in response to “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.” It is reported that over 600 Israelis have been killed in the past 24 hours.
Four Palestinians were killed in the span of 24 hours, including a teenager that was killed in a settler attack on the Nablus-area town of Huwwara.
