Bombs devastate central and eastern Shujayea
It’s getting more difficult to keep up with the pace of the attacks in Shujayea.
The Israeli jets are carrying out more and more deadly attacks across the central and eastern parts of the district, destroying more homes and attacking people trapped inside these residential buildings or what is left of their homes since they returned from enforced displacement sites in the south and centre of Gaza.
The army not only dropped multiple bombs, but these were also “earthquake bombs” that shook the very foundation of nearby buildings, destroying the majority of them. Entire residential buildings have been turned into ruin.
A large number of casualties arrived at al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City, but they are struggling because there is not sufficient medical care available due to shortages of supplies and doctors.
Civil defence crews have officially ceased their operation in the area because it was getting too risky for them to stay at the site, as drones hovered above them.
They had to stop their operation, and evacuate immediately, leaving many people under the rubble at risk of losing their life.
Deadly Israeli attack targets Tuffa neighbourhood
At least one Palestinian has been killed in an Israeli attack on a group of civilians in Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City.
‘Not much time left’ to save Palestinians
Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on Palestine, warned that Israel will continue its violence against Palestinians unless action is taken, saying there is “not much time left” to save the Palestinian people.
Albanese told the Anadolu news agency that Israel has never respected the ceasefire since it began in January. Albanese said that Israel has no intention of halting its actions for several reasons, saying that “Netanyahu will be the target of justice when he stops the war against the Palestinians.”
“You may have noticed that Netanyahu was going to appear in court the day after he ordered a new attack against the people of Gaza. So, the question is: Was there a connection? Maybe,” she added.
UN forced to shut down most humanitarian work in Gaza
Olga Cherevko, a spokesperson for the UN’s Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Gaza, has this update for Al Jazeera as the Israeli military blockade of all aid to the enclave nears 40 days:
- Services in the humanitarian sector are almost non-existent.
- There is no safe place in Gaza.
- Israel briefed us on the aid monitoring mechanism.
- We can distribute aid according to humanitarian principles.
- Closures of crossings and hostilities restrict our movement.
