And Gaza has pretty much been forgotten already.


Four killed following Israeli military attacks in central Gaza

There have been several deadly Israeli military attacks in the Nuseirat and Maghazi areas of central Gaza in recent hours, the Wafa news agency reports.

Gaza’s civil defence recovered two lifeless bodies from the rubble, along with several injured people, after the Israeli military shelled the Harb family home in Block C of the Nuseirat refugee camp.

One person was also killed as a result of Israeli artillery shelling on Salah al-Din street opposite the Nuseirat refugee camp. A fourth person was killed when the Israeli military shelled the road separating the Maghazi and Bureij refugee camps.

Israeli forces also bombed the Zeitoun and Sabra neighbourhoods of Gaza City in northern Gaza, with no casualties reported.


Suffering for children ‘horrendous’ in Gaza: UNICEF

Conditions in Gaza are progressively deteriorating as the conflict approaches one year, James Elder, global spokesperson for UNICEF, has told Al Jazeera.

“Every time I come back it gets worse because it’s a cumulative crisis,” he said. “There are continuous denial and restrictions on aid and 85 percent of the Gaza Strip is under some form of evacuation order, which is why these indiscriminate attacks make so many victims.”

Elder said the suffering for children was especially acute. “I’ve seen children with fourth degree burns and I didn’t even know that was possible,” he said. “I’ve seen a young boy with burns so severe he didn’t even have skin left for skin graft surgery and the doctors have no anaesthetic for him.”

The UNICEF spokesperson added that a military solution would not be possible in Gaza. “It’s going to be a political solution and the sooner we come to that, the sooner we can end the horrendous suffering on women and children,” he said.
