Sound of Israeli drones does not ‘leave the sky’ in Gaza amid constant bombardment

The situation on the ground is getting much more desperate in light of Israel’s unprecedented military escalation.

As you can hear, the sound of drones does not leave the sky of the central areas in Gaza. There has been constant bombardment in the eastern areas of Gaza City and close to the Morag Corridor in the southern parts of Gaza, where the concentration has been on targeting, since the early hours of this morning, residential homes, makeshift tents and community kitchens that have been responsible for providing many humanitarian services in light of this aggravating humanitarian crisis.

Different warnings were issued by key UN officials regarding an impending humanitarian famine in Gaza.

This has been the clear result of Israel’s suffocating siege that has been ongoing for more than 60 days so far, and preventing any sort of food, fuel, water or medicine from accessing the Strip.

Israeli ‘engineered famine’ getting much worse in Gaza

The United Nations said that they have 3,000 humanitarian aid trucks ready to enter Gaza once border crossings are reopened.

While the WFP [UN’s World Food Programme] said they are no longer able to provide food services for Gaza’s population, given the fact that their food stocks have been completely exhausted.

A sign that Gaza has been pushed into a very dramatic and engineered famine that is getting much worse as time passes.
