Intensity of shelling in northern Gaza, Gaza City has increased

The intensity of shelling has increased in the past few days in northern Gaza and Gaza City as Israeli forces target residential houses and blocks.

Eight people were killed, including five municipality workers, while doing their duties in the headquarters of the municipality of Gaza City. Seven, including three children and one woman, were killed in an Israeli strike that hit the Zeitoun neighbourhood. Dozens of others have been killed and wounded by shelling and artillery fire all over Gaza City.

The situation in northern Gaza is dire. Israeli forces are preventing any humanitarian aid from reaching northern Gaza. There are no vegetables or food for civilians. If there is any humanitarian aid that enters, it will not meet the extensive need of the population here. This scarcity of products here justify why Kamal Radwan Hospital is full of malnutrition cases. The scarcity of water, food products, vegetables is just because Israeli forces keep imposing and tightening the siege.


Israel’s ‘pause’ in Gaza has no impact on aid supplies: WHO

A daily “pause” that the Israeli military declared in Gaza to facilitate aid flows has had no impact on deliveries of badly needed aid, the WHO says.

“We can say that we did not see an impact on the humanitarian supplies coming in since that unilateral announcement of this technical pause,” said Richard Peeperkorn, the WHO representative in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Over the weekend, the Israeli military announced a daily humanitarian “pause” in fighting on a key road in southern Gaza. Days later, a UN spokesman said, “This has yet to translate into more aid reaching people in need.”


Israeli forces shoot at people in al-Mawasi, killing at least eight

After launching sound bombs to attract people around one of the local makeshift hospitals in al-Mawasi, near Rafah, Israeli forces fired an explosive shell at the area, killing at least eight Palestinians, witnesses on the ground say.

A number of ambulances are transporting the injured and the bodies to field hospitals.

There are also cases of displacement and panic among residents, as dozens of people have abandoned their belongings in their tents and have rushed to other areas of Khan Younis.

Israel’s Nuseirat massacre and Gaza’s wounds that won’t heal

The two weeks that have passed since the June 8 Nuseirat massacre, when Israeli forces killed at least 274 Palestinians to free four Israeli captives, have not brought any healing to the survivors.

More than 500 more Palestinians were injured in the attack, filling Deir el-Balah’s Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, with every inch of the floors covered with people in pain bleeding and screaming. Many of the injured still lie at the hospital.
