Aid trucks prepare to enter Gaza
Our colleagues on the ground are reporting that aid trucks have entered the Karem Abu Salem (known as Kerem Shalom to Israelis) and al-Awja (Nitzana) crossings for inspection before entering the Gaza Strip.
Trucks loaded with humanitarian aid are parked on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing
So much for free flow of aid, same nonsense restrictions apply.
Medical supplies needed urgently in Gaza: Director
Mohammad Zaqout, the director general of hospitals in Gaza, has spoken to Al Jazeera about the dire healthcare situation in the enclave:
Here are his translated comments:
- We need urgent medical supplies and medicines, and so far, nothing has entered.
- We demanded the entry of medical delegations into Gaza, but Israel is still obstructing their entry.
Israeli munitions found at GHF site spark outrage over humanitarian failures
We can see now that the landscape has changed significantly under the current ceasefire agreement. The GHF has dismantled its site in order to fully transfer responsibility for delivering aid supplies to the UN and its affiliated agencies.
When we arrived, we found remnants of Israeli military munitions that had been used to attack Palestinians who were seeking aid. We can see remains of the shells and a few bullets that were fired at people trying to reach the site.
This area was marked as an active “red zone”, and people were forced to travel long distances on foot to reach food supplies, especially during the famine-spreading period. The route has been very difficult. For many Palestinians, these aid sites became death traps.
This mechanism of aid delivery has drawn huge criticism from international humanitarian actors, describing it as deeply flawed.
Palestinian returnees face harsh weather conditions in Gaza ‘wasteland’
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are returning, not to homes, but to a wasteland. They say they’ve found nothing of their neighbourhoods and the areas they once called home.
Winter is approaching, and it’s raining right now. This weather will definitely add an extra element of suffering to those returning, only to find nothing but ruins.
Yet they are returning, clinging to the hope of finding what’s left of their destroyed buildings or the areas they grew up in.
Displaced Palestinians carry their belongings as they walk along the heavily damaged Jalaa Street in Gaza City
Israel has been using explosive-laden vehicles, where these vehicles destroy complete residential buildings and neighbourhoods.
And that’s why Palestinians are saying that there’s no way they could start living as soon as they go back because the infrastructure has been completely destroyed.
