PFLP voices support for crackdown on Gaza gangs

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine says it “values” the Hamas-led campaign against the “dens of crime” and suspected Israel collaborators in Gaza after the ceasefire.

“What is happening on the ground reflects the national Palestinian consensus on the need to protect the internal front,” the left-wing group said in a statement.

On Sunday, clashes erupted between an armed clan and Hamas security forces, killing at least 27 people, including eight members of Hamas, according to the Ministry of Interior in Gaza.

Unexploded bombs pose ‘enormous’ risks in Gaza: NGO

Unexploded ordnance in Gaza poses “enormous” risks for displaced people returning home during the US-led ceasefire, the NGO Handicap International warns, calling for the entry of equipment needed for de-mining.

“The risks are enormous – an estimated 70,000 tons of explosives have been dropped on Gaza” since the start of the war, said Anne-Claire Yaeesh, the organisation’s director for the occupied Palestinian territory.

Handicap International specialises in mine clearance and assistance to victims of antipersonnel mines.

“The layers of rubble and levels of accumulation are extremely high,” Yaeesh said.

She warned that the risks are aggravated by the “extremely complex” nature of the environment. In January, the UN’s Mine Action Service estimated that “5 to 10 percent” of the munitions fired on Gaza had not exploded.


Dr Hussam Abu Safia’s family says no information on his release

Family members of Dr Hussam Abu Safia, who Israel has detained since December, say they don’t yet have “details about the date of his release”.

“Our father, Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, has been included on the list of those approved for release, but he has not yet been freed,” his family wrote in a post on social media.

They have “received comforting news” from other released detainees who were with their father.

“They confirmed he is in good health and strong spirits, thank God,” the family said.
