With possible ceasefire in Lebanon, Palestinians in Gaza feel alone
As hopes grow for a ceasefire in Lebanon, Palestinians in Gaza, disillusioned by 14 months of ruinous war, are feeling more abandoned than ever.
“I am angry against the world that has failed to bring one solution to the two regions,” Abdel-Ghani, a father of five in the enclave, told Reuters news agency. “Maybe, there will be another deal for Gaza, maybe.”
Tamer Al-Burai, a Gaza City businessman, who like most Gaza Palestinians has been displaced from his home, told the agency. “We are afraid the Israeli army will now have a free hand in Gaza.”
“Enough is enough,” added Zakeya Rezik, a mother of six. “We are exhausted. How many more had to die before they stopped the war?”

More deadly Israeli attacks in Gaza City
We are getting more reports of Israeli attacks in the Gaza City area.
One attack, in the as-Saftawi area to the city’s northwest, killed and wounded several people, our colleagues on the ground have reported. Another attack, in the city’s Shujayea neighbourhood, also caused injuries, they report.
Israel’s military ordered Palestinians to flee Shujayea several days ago, warning it would become a “dangerous combat zone”.

Death toll rises to 11 in Gaza school attack
At least 11 Palestinians have been killed. Among them are children and women, and 30 Palestinians have been injured in this attack.
But according to the civil defence teams in the Gaza City all firefighting and ambulance vehicles have stopped working in the Gaza City because the Israeli forces are not giving them access and denying them fuel. That’s why they are unable to respond to any citizens’ appeals and calls.
It’s very obvious that the Israeli forces are restraining and hindering all types of saving lives actions, despite the fact if it was in the Gaza City or in the northern Gaza Strip, where Israeli forces have been imposing a siege for more than 50 days.
