Israel not letting up military activity in Gaza despite ceasefire
What aid has been sent to Gaza remains a drop in the ocean, in terms of need.
There is also a severe shortage of materials for shelter, with thousands of families living in makeshift tents and even in damaged buildings. As winter approaches, there is a massive need for new tents and mobile houses.
So far, there is a severe shortage of humanitarian aid [going] into the Strip, amid growing calls from UN actors to scale up humanitarian deliveries.
Meanwhile, over the past two weeks, we have seen multiple Israeli attacks conducted by the Israeli air force and infantry brigades on the ground in specific areas that are located beyond the yellow line.
We have been told by local residents and officials that the Israeli military continues to stage attacks, carrying out demolition operations for residential homes and flattening agricultural land. The Israeli military itself has not denied these accusations, confirming that it is operating in areas to remove what it calls “terrorist infrastructure”.
But many Palestinians view this as a violation of the ceasefire deal, as the deal stipulates a full cessation of Israeli military activity.
Erdogan says US, others must press Israel to abide by Gaza ceasefire
The Turkish president says the United States and others must do more to push Israel to stop violating the Gaza ceasefire agreement, including the possible use of sanctions or halting arms sales.
According to an official readout of his remarks to reporters on board a return flight from Oman, Erdogan said Hamas was abiding by the agreement.
“Gaza is a test for the Islamic world. God willing, we will pass this test with flying colours and take our place alongside our brothers and sisters in the strongest possible way,” he said, adding that Turkiye remains ready to support the planned Gaza task force in any way needed.
Recent reports indicate that Netanyahu has foreclosed on the possibility of Turkish personnel being involved on the ground in the Gaza Strip. Since the outbreak of Israel’s war on Gaza, already strained relations between the two countries have cratered, with Erdogan frequently condemning Israel.
