Israel attacks Gaza City, Beit Lahiya, Khan Younis
We are getting reports of multiple Israeli attacks across Gaza – from Beit Lahiya in the north to Khan Younis in the south.
Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic said Israeli forces carried out air raids, artillery attacks and demolition operations in eastern areas of Gaza City and Khan Younis.
Air raids also hit northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya.
Latest Israeli attack occurs near northern Gaza’s Zikim crossing
Palestinians have been hearing the sound of explosions over the past four weeks since the ceasefire was announced and was supposed to end all acts of violence on the ground. The Israeli military has continued to demolish and detonate many remaining residential buildings.
Over the past few hours, the Israeli military carried out attacks in the eastern part of Khan Younis, as well as in the northern part of Beit Lahiya. That’s near the Zikim crossing that is supposed to open and allow the entry of humanitarian aid. All these areas fall behind the yellow line that is under Israeli control.
New Israeli air raids hit Khan Younis
Our colleagues on the ground are reporting several new Israeli attacks inside the yellow line, which demarcates Israeli-held territory, in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis. They include two air raids and a demolition operation in the eastern part of the city, our colleagues reported, without noting any casualties.
Despite the more than a monthlong ceasefire, Israeli forces have carried out near-daily attacks in Gaza, killing at least 245 people and injuring 627, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.
Israel destroyed 90% of Gaza’s vegetation: Khan Younis mayor
The mayor of Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis says Israeli attacks across the enclave have wiped out much of its vegetation and made it difficult to access landfills for proper waste disposal.
Speaking to Al Jazeera Arabic, Mayor Alaa al-Batta said more than 90 percent of Gaza’s vegetation has been decimated. “We are facing a real catastrophe that results in the spread of diseases and epidemics,” he added.
Flimsy tents not enough to protect Gaza residents from cold as winter approaches
The situation across Gaza remains deeply concerning. It’s started to get very cold at night, and soon we will start to see heavy rainfall. The tents housing displaced people are not prepared to withstand these weather conditions as winter approaches.
Since the Israeli military has blocked the entry of mobile homes and better tents, people must rely on recycled materials. In addition, there are not enough blankets or fuel to help people stay warm.
At the same time, hospitals are also unprepared to deal with potential waves of patients suffering from infectious diseases.
Pharmacy shelves remain empty in Gaza City
Four land crossings in Gaza are still almost completely blocked. Only two are somewhat operational, allowing trucks and commercial items to trickle in.
It’s been announced that a third crossing (Zikim, in the north) has reopened, but we haven’t seen evidence on the ground of how many trucks or what kind of aid is coming through there.
Still, there are no medical supplies. Taking a short walk to any of the pharmacies in Gaza City, you will find empty shelves with no antibiotics.
Water is also a significant issue for people. Many do not have access to clean drinking water.
While food is trickling in, the type of food that is entering is non-essential. Protein and vitamin-rich sources are completely absent. It’s easy to find cans of soda in the market, for example, but pharmacies do not have a single antibiotic.
