Iran condemns Israeli violations of Gaza ceasefire
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei says Israel has made a habit of “abusing the opportunity of declared ceasefires to continue its criminal actions against Palestinians”.
Israel has killed at least nine people in Gaza today and it appears to be reneging on its commitment under the truce agreement to allow 600 humanitarian aid trucks into the territory daily.
Baghaei said Iran condemns the “attacks and aggressions of the Zionist regime” in Gaza over the past day.
Actually the peace plan called for
"Full humanitarian aid enters immediately to rebuild essential infrastructure"
"Aid flows freely via UN and Red Crescent, Rafah crossings reopen under agreement"
Rafah is still closed, supplies for rebuilding are still blocked, Aid is not flowing freely at all.
UN says ‘much more can be done’ for humanitarian relief in Gaza
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says aid agencies are scaling up humanitarian assistance to Gaza with the partial lifting of the Israeli blockade as the ceasefire comes into effect.
OCHA said “thousands of tonnes of humanitarian aid” have been delivered, and the World Health Organization (WHO) was able to send teams to several hospitals and bring in medical supplies.
“Much more can be done,” OCHA added.
“For this to happen, the humanitarian community needs more crossings to open, as well as the sustained entry of fuel and cooking gas; security guarantees for convoys; basic infrastructure to be restored; protection of humanitarian workers; the facilitation of NGO access, including through ensuring they are not de-registered; and the rapid injection of funding to support humanitarian operations.”
Another Israeli air strike targets south Lebanon
Several Lebanese news outlets are reporting that an Israeli air raid has struck the southern town of Wadi Jilou, east of Tyre. Earlier, a drone strike injured two people near the village of Tibnine.
Israel has repeatedly attacked southern Lebanon despite signing a ceasefire last November with Hezbollah.
