New routes planned for halted Gaza aid from US-built pier

The UN has planned new routes within the Gaza Strip to transport aid from a US-built floating pier after crowds of desperate Palestinians intercepted 11 trucks, causing a halt to deliveries that continued for a third day on Tuesday.

The temporary pier was anchored to a Gaza beach on Thursday as Israel comes under growing global pressure to allow aid supplies into the enclave, where famine looms.

Operations began on Friday, and 10 aid trucks were driven by UN contractors to a World Food Programme warehouse in Deir el-Balah in central Gaza.

But on Saturday, only five trucks made it to the warehouse after 11 others were intercepted.

Gov’t Media Office: No more health services in two Gaza governorates

The cessation of health services in the North Gaza and Gaza governorates may lead to a “humanitarian catastrophe” threatening 700,000 people, the office warns. “We demand the establishment of field hospitals and the entry of medical delegations immediately and urgently,” it said in a statement on its official Telegram channel.

“The aforementioned governorates can no longer provide any medical services, especially after Kamal Adwan Hospital has gone out of service, and al-Awda Hospital is under Israeli military siege for the fourth consecutive day.”

“This has led to a cessation of all services, including those relating to primary health, maternity health and children’s vaccinations.”


Israeli forces gradually expanding incursion into Rafah

As we have been hearing from eyewitnesses in Rafah, the military is gradually expanding its incursion of Rafah district.

There is a notable advancement for the Israeli military tanks manoeuvring in the central areas of Rafah, including the Shaboura and Brazil neighbourhoods – key central neighbourhoods in Rafah.

Under intense firepower on the ground, more Palestinians have been fleeing from Rafah district, and they’ve been moving to the western part, believing it might be a safe area.

But the Israeli prime minister and defence minister have been stating that they are determined to expand the military operation in Rafah in order to militarily dismantle the remaining battalions of the military wing of Hamas.
