No humanitarian or commercial supplies entered Gaza since March 2: UNRWA

UNRWA has released an update on the current situation in the occupied West Bank and Gaza:

  • The large-scale Israeli military operation that started in Jenin refugee camp on January 21 and continues, with operations in Nur Shams camp in Tulkarem, has killed more than 50 Palestinians as of March 9, including eight children. More than 35,000 Palestinians have been displaced.
  • No supplies have entered Gaza since March 2, when the Israeli authorities announced a halt to humanitarian aid.


Palestinian killed in central Gaza drone attack

Gaza health officials said an Israeli drone attack killed a 62-year-old Palestinian in Juhor al-Deek, central Gaza on Sunday. The attack injured several others, the officials said, according to Reuters.

Earlier, the Israeli military said in a statement that it had conducted a drone attack against what it claimed was a fighter operating near troops in the Netzarim Corridor. It’s unclear if the attack is referring to the same incident in which the 62-year-old was killed, but Juhor al-Deek is near Netzarim.

Israeli forces formed the Netzarim Corridor, a militarised zone that splits northern Gaza from the rest of the enclave, at the beginning of the war in late 2023.

Gaza health officials also said on Sunday that an Israeli drone attack had injured several Palestinians in Rafah, in southern Gaza.


Palestinians succumb to injuries after Israeli attacks

Two Palestinians have died from wounds following Israeli bombardment in Gaza. According to Wafa news agency, Nada Issa, 22, died from injuries sustained during a recent Israeli attack on her home in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

Ahmad Abu Rawa, 25, also died from wounds inflicted by an Israeli air strike on Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza, on Saturday.

Meanwhile, medical teams recovered the body of a third Palestinian killed in an Israeli drone strike on the town of Juhor ad-Dik, central Gaza, also on Saturday.
