Rights group calls for ‘urgent international action’ on Gaza
In a new statement, Al Haq says the world must act to stop Israel from moving forward with plans for the “full and permanent military control of Gaza following the systematic forcible displacement of Palestinians and the deliberate weaponisation of life-saving humanitarian aid”.
“We urge people of conscience across the world to continue to assert maximum pressure on their governments to take immediate and concrete actions to put an end to Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people,” the Palestinian rights organisation said.
It called for “a full arms embargo on Israel” along with economic, diplomatic and individual sanctions.
No aid distributed in Gaza despite supplies, UN says
UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric says no aid has been distributed in the Gaza Strip despite more supplies being dropped off at the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing.
“Today, one of our teams waited several hours for the Israeli green light to access the Kerem Shalom area and collect the nutrition supplies. Unfortunately, they were not able to bring those supplies into our warehouse,” Dujarric said.
Earlier, the UN said it received permission from Israel for about 100 more emergency aid trucks to enter Gaza after an 11-week blockade. UN aid chief Tom Fletcher previously called the aid deliveries approved so far “a drop in the ocean” as famine stalks the war-battered Palestinian enclave.
So the minimal aid is still stuck at the border. Only now a few trucks are stuck on the other side of it...
Gaza City resident: Netanyahu’s aid comments ‘all lies’
Residents of Gaza City have expressed dismay over the lack of aid as international humanitarian experts warn of looming famine in the Palestinian enclave.
“Today, we are hearing in the news that aid has entered. We don’t have anything,” said Jamal Hassan, 46. “Today, children will sleep without dinner and drink salty water. This is the real famine the Palestinian people are now experiencing, and no one is paying attention.”
He added: “The talk of Netanyahu and some of his false discourse that the border has been opened and aid entered – these are all lies.”
After an 11-week blockade, Israel cleared nine trucks of aid on Monday – an amount described by the UN as a “drop in the ocean”.
