Israel denied food convoy entrance to northern Gaza for second time this week: UNRWA

Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, has said that a food convoy has been denied access to northern Gaza for the second time this week. In a tweet, Lazzarini said the last time the UNRWA was able to deliver aid to the northern part of the enclave, where starvation is spreading, was two months ago.

“This is a man made hunger & looming famine which can still be averted,” he said. “The Israeli Authorities must allow delivering food aid at scale to the north including via UNRWA, the largest humanitarian organisation in Gaza.”



Israeli FM urges more countries to cut funding to UNRWA

The Israeli foreign minister has urged “more countries to follow the US and ban funding” to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. His remarks come after the funding of UNRWA was banned in the US as part of a $1.2 trillion spending package that passed in the Congress overnight.

Israel Katz said on X: “The historic ban on US funding to UNRWA that passed today with an overwhelming bipartisan support, demonstrates what we knew all along: UNRWA is part of the problem and cannot be part of the solution. UNRWA will not be a part of Gaza’s landscape in the aftermath of Hamas.”

“Thousands of UNRWA employees are involved in Hamas terror activities and their facilities were used for terrorist purposes,” he claimed. “I urge more countries to follow the US and ban funding to this organization.”

Some 7,000 trucks are waiting in North Sinai to enter Gaza: Governor

North Sinai Governor Mohamed Shusha has said some 7,000 trucks are waiting in the region to deliver aid to Gaza. Shusha said inspection procedures demanded by Israel had held up the flow of relief, according to a statement from his office.

Shusha is accompanying UN chief Antonio Guterres, who is expected to arrive at Egypt’s border with Gaza later in the day.

 

Guterres visit shines spotlight on need of humanitarian aid entering Gaza

The visit of the UN chief reiterates the importance of a ceasefire and the smooth flow of aid into Gaza. In the past weeks, we have seen attacks on aid workers; dozens of people have been killed in these attacks.

There have been deliberate attacks on distribution points organised by UNRWA, and the traumatised population of Gaza is now confronted with the prospect of an expansion of the ground operation to Rafah.

There are miles of humanitarian trucks lining up on the Egyptian side that are unable to cross over into Gaza and deliver much-needed food to the population, especially to the northern part of the Strip, where at least 27 children have died so far because of starvation.

Starvation crisis getting worse by the hour

In the past, we used to say it’s getting worse by the day but right now, things are going from bad, to worse, to terrible. Across the border, on the other side, there are miles of trucks filled with food and essential supplies for people who are in desperate need for them.

It’s important to note that we don’t see most of the humanitarian aid trucks coming into Gaza because of the ongoing blockade on the crossings. All the physical land crossings have been artificially closed by the Israeli military preventing the supplies from coming in.

There are also the ongoing constant attacks on aid trucks as well as on aid seekers and aid workers, just hindering the work of anyone trying to help Palestinians in the northern and the southern part of Gaza.

The ongoing practices on the ground, coupled with the intense bombing campaign have been the major reasons for the situation to get so bad. And the only solution to this, as UNRWA’s boss Philippe Lazzarini has stated, is flooding Gaza with life-saving goods and an immediate ceasefire.

Guterres holds news conference at Rafah crossing

UN chief UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for a ceasefire in Gaza as he addresses reporters in El Arish, in Egypt’s northern Sinai, where much of the international relief for Gaza is stockpiled.

“Now more than ever it is time for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire,” he said.


United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres visits the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, Saturday

UN chief calls blocked aid for Gaza a moral outrage

A long line of blocked relief trucks on Egypt’s side of the border with the Gaza Strip where people face starvation is a moral outrage, Guterres said, speaking at the Rafah crossing. It was time for Israel to give an “ironclad commitment” for unfettered access to humanitarian goods throughout Gaza, said Guterres, who also called for the release of Israeli captives held in Gaza.

The UN would continue to work with Egypt to “streamline” the flow of aid into Gaza, he added.

Guterres’s comments at Rafah crossing

  • “I have come to Rafah to shine a spotlight on the pain of Palestinians in Gaza,” Guterres said.
  • Here, from this crossing, we see the heartbreak and heartlessness of it all. A long line of blocked relief trucks on one side of the gates, the long shadow of starvation on the other,” he said. “That is more than tragic. It is a moral outrage.”
  • The UN chief also said the choice was between increasing aid or starvation.
  • Israel should give “total, unfettered” access to humanitarian goods throughout Gaza.
  • “We will continue to work with Egypt to streamline the flow of aid,” he said.

“Every year going back to since I served as High Commissioner for Refugees, I have undertaken a solidarity mission during the holy month of Ramadan to shine a light on Muslim communities in distress.

“This Ramadan, I have come to the Rafah crossing to spotlight the hardship and pain of Palestinians in Gaza – and the obstacles to easing their plight.

“This morning, I met with injured Palestinian civilians and their families at the General Hospital in El Arish, and was extremely moved by their stories, experiences and all the hardships they have endured, and by the generosity and solidarity of Egypt and the Egyptian people.

“I say again: Nothing justifies the horrific attacks by Hamas on October 7. And nothing justifies the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.

“Now more than ever, it is time for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. It is time to silence the guns. Palestinians in Gaza – children, women, men – remain stuck in a non-stop nightmare. Communities obliterated. Homes demolished. Entire families and generations wiped out. With hunger and starvation stalking the population.


“Ramadan is a time for spreading the values of compassion, community, and peace.

“It is monstrous that after so much suffering over so many months, Palestinians in Gaza are marking Ramadan with Israeli bombs still falling, bullets still flying, artillery still pounding, and humanitarian assistance still facing obstacle upon obstacle.

“Fasting with you on Ramadan, I am deeply troubled to know so many people in Gaza will not be able to have a proper Iftar.

“Here from this crossing, we see the heartbreak and heartlessness of it all. A long line of blocked relief trucks on one side of the gates. The long shadow of starvation on the other.

“That is more than tragic. It is a moral outrage. Any further onslaught will make everything worse.

“Worse for Palestinian civilians. Worse for the hostages. And worse for all people of the region. All this demonstrates that it’s more than time for an immediate ceasefire, I say it again. It’s time for an ironclad commitment by Israel for total, unfettered access for humanitarian goods throughout Gaza.

“And in the Ramadan spirit of compassion, it’s time for the immediate release of all hostages. I also urge every member of the United Nations to support our life-saving work led by the backbone of all Gaza relief operations, UNRWA. We look forward to continuing to work with Egypt to streamline the flow of aid, and deeply appreciate the full Egyptian engagement in support of the Gaza people.

“And I want Palestinians in Gaza to know: You are not alone. People around the world are outraged by the horrors we are all witnessing in real-time. I carry the voices of the vast majority of the world who have seen enough. Who have had enough. And who still believe that human dignity and decency must define us as a global community.

“It’s our only hope. It’s time to truly flood Gaza with life-saving aid. The choice is clear: either surge or starvation. Let’s choose the side of help – the side of hope – and the right side of history. I will not give up. And all of us must not give up in doing all we can for our common humanity to prevail in Gaza and around the world.”

Guterres ‘frustrated’ about Gaza war, asks Israel to stop

“You cannot see so many people being killed, you cannot see so much suffering without feeling hugely frustrated,” Guterres said while taking questions from reporters.

“We don’t have the power to stop [the war in Gaza], I appeal to those who have the power to stop it to do it,” he said.

Palestinians ‘hearing empty slogans’ about humanitarian crisis

Palestinians followed UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s visit to the closest point with Gaza, at the Egyptian border, as he did not get into the territory.

They have been hearing empty slogans from international actors in terms of the efforts being made to mitigate the aggravating humanitarian crisis.

Yesterday, only 35 humanitarian aid trucks were allowed into Gaza. This number is just a drop in the ocean in comparison with the needs of the desperate people in the south and those right now who are being killed waiting for humanitarian supplies in the north.

What people in Gaza have been waiting from the UN secretary-general is to exert more pressure on the Israeli government to allow for more humanitarian supplies and to increase the capacity of humanitarian aid, according to the resolutions being made by the International Court of Justice and the different appeals by international humanitarian organisations about the severity of the situation in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli foreign minister calls UN ‘antisemitic’, ‘anti-Israeli body’

Israel Katz has alleged that, under Guterres, the world body has become an “antisemitic and anti-Israeli body” that “shelters and emboldens terror”.

In a post on X, the Israeli foreign minister said the UN chief “stood today on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing and blamed Israel for the humanitarian situation in Gaza, without condemning in any way the Hamas-ISIS [ISIL] terrorists who plunder humanitarian aid, without condemning UNRWA that cooperates with terrorists — and without calling for the immediate, unconditional release of all Israeli hostages.”

In his remarks, Guterres said it was time for the unconditional release of all captives, as it was also time for a ceasefire in Gaza and for the creation of a Palestinian state. He said the UN was investigating Israel’s allegations that some UNRWA members had taken part in Hamas’s attack on October 7, saying the UN condemned in the strongest terms any possible involvement in the violence.

UN boss ‘heartbroken’ by patients’ accounts at El Arish Hospital

Guterres says it is “impossible not to feel heartbroken” by the stories of Gaza residents at a hospital in El Arish, Egypt, where survivors of Israel’s war are being treated.

“It’s time to silence the guns,” he said.



‘Too late once famine is declared’: UN aid chief

As the UN’s Guterres tries to direct attention toward the humanitarian plight in Gaza, the organisation’s aid chief is also reminding that famine is “imminent” in the besieged enclave.

“We know that once famine is declared, it is way too late. We also know that, with action and goodwill, it can be averted,” he said.

“We must flood Gaza with food and other life-saving aid. There is no time to lose. I renew my call to the Israeli authorities to allow complete and unfettered access for humanitarian goods.”

IDF blaming Hamas for using human shields while that would be entirely pointless since the IDF kills indiscriminately anyway.
It's the IDF that's uses civilians as human shields. It's been reported before and now again:

Army uses Palestinians as human shields at al-Shifa Hospital: Right group

The Israeli military is using Palestinian civilians as human shields during its ongoing military operations inside and around the al-Shifa Hospital in central Gaza, according to the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor.

The Geneva-based organisation says in its latest report it documented several witness testimonies about this since Monday, with Israeli soldiers forcing civilians into dangerous situations. This includes exploiting Palestinians for military operations inside the hospital, and forcing them to form barriers behind soldiers and military vehicles.

One Palestinian said he and three other young men were ordered to enter rooms inside the hospital after cameras were attached to their heads, and then received remote orders to move around to specific locations.

“Euro-Med Monitor calls on the international community to fulfill its international responsibilities in stopping the genocide being perpetrated against all residents of the Gaza Strip, and to take immediate and serious action to halt all Israeli army crimes committed against civilians and civilian objects protected under international law.”




I though this clown was fired, just kicked out of the UK I guess

‘We know we’re the good guys,’ says the Israeli government

The Israeli military released a short clip that purportedly shows soldiers establishing a “dedicated treatment area for the patients’ safety” at al-Shifa Hospital, which they have besieged to deadly effect for almost a week. It also claims it brought in medication, bandages, monitoring devices, along with food and water, to the hospital in Gaza City, which it initially raided earlier in the war.

The Israeli government spokesman, Eylon Levy, says this shows “we’re the good guys.”

The Israeli military, which has blown up parts of the hospital and ordered an evacuation of the grounds, earlier pledged to continue operations “as long as necessary”.




Israel: Al-Shifa Hospital raid ends when all fighters dead or captured

The Israeli military is signalling that, despite the deaths of civilians and humanitarian concerns, its days-long raid on the al-Shifa Hospital in central Gaza will go on for as long as it deems necessary.

The army just released footage and images showing the chief of its southern command, Major-General Yaron Finkelman, meeting with other senior military officials near the hospital.

“We will not end this operation until we capture the last terrorist, alive or dead,” Finkelman says, adding the deadly operation is “significant” and will reflect considerably on Israel’s military achievements on the ground during the war.

The Israeli army claims it has killed dozens of fighters inside and around the hospital – which it besieged earlier in the war – and has taken 800 prisoners.

 

The IDF is just using Al Shifa as a place to hide behind civilians...

Qassam Brigades attacks Israeli soldiers, vehicles near al-Shifa Hospital

The armed wing of Hamas says intense ground battles are continuing near the al-Shifa Hospital in central Gaza. Qassam Brigades said it “destroyed enemy forces” trying to penetrate an area surrounding the health facility using mortar shells.

A rocket hit a group of Israeli soldiers barricaded inside a building in the vicinity of the besieged hospital, killing and wounding an unidentified number of troops, it said. Fighters used a Yassin-105 anti-tank weapon to target a military vehicle in the area.

Earlier:

Al-Quds Brigades says its fighters seized Israeli explosives

Al-Quds Brigades, the military-wing of Islamic Jihad, says its fighters dismantled a house booby-trapped by the Israeli army in the vicinity of al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. The group added in a statement on X it’s working to reuse the dismantled explosive devices against Israeli soldiers and vehicles.


So it seems the IDF wants Northern Gaza empty. Aid convoys to the North get denied, people repeatedly get told to evacuate south, aid convoys get attacked, aid distribution points shelled, remaining shelters like Al Shifa get raided and/or bombed.

Hamas seems to be on the outside trying to attack the IDF, draw them out of the hospital.

It is quite clear at this point. The IDF are the terrorists, Hamas and other fighters are defending against the invasion and destruction. Yet not a single Western country can see who is acting in self-defense now and who are the real terrorists acting with impunity.

Death toll rises to 19 after Israeli attacks on aid seekers in Gaza City

Gaza’s press office says at least 19 people were killed and 23 wounded when the Israeli military again fired at Palestinian aid seekers at the Kuwait Roundabout earlier. It said in a statement that soldiers and tanks opened fire at hungry Palestinians as they gathered to get bags of flour at the roundabout in southeastern Gaza City.

Some of the dead were brought to the Ahli Arab Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, but the bodies of others were left lying on the ground, the office said.

“We call on all countries of the free world to put pressure on the occupation in order to stop the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing that it is waging against our Palestinian people. We also call on them to stop the famine immediately before it is too late.”


Israel military denies killing starving Palestinians waiting for aid

“The reports claiming that the [Israeli military] attacked dozens of Gazans at an aid convoy are incorrect,” the military said in a statement. “Preliminary findings have determined that there was no aerial strike against the convoy, nor were there incidents found of forces firing at the people at the aid convoy.”


Kill and arrest the journalists and deny deny deny.

Classic case of projection

Israel says Palestinians need ‘educational transformation’ akin to post-Nazi Germany

In a speech at the UN Security Council, the Israeli envoy said the vast majority of Palestinians “want to annihilate Israel at any cost” and must therefore be “deradicalised”.

“The educational transformation that the German people underwent after the Third Reich is what the Palestinians need to receive so they finally support coexistence with Jews and Israel. That’s how we educate our kids,” Gilad Erdan said.

The ambassador said the UNSC – which is debating another resolution on ending Israel’s war on Gaza after a criticised US resolution was rejected – must demand that the Palestinian Authority “end incitement” against Israel among Palestinians.

During the war, top Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have repeatedly rejected a two-state solution that would recognise Palestine as a sovereign state and end Israel’s decades-long occupation.



Every time Israel accuses Palestinians, they're just projecting their own desire to annihilate Palestine. Israel needs to be deradicalised. Israel needs to learn how to coexist with Palestinians without oppression, apartheid, dehumanization of Palestinians from birth and continued violence on Palestinians in the West Bank by religious nutcases. Enough of this victim blaming. Stop the fascist endless lies.




Israel tells UNSC ‘road to permanent ceasefire passes through Rafah’

The Israeli envoy to the UN, Gilad Erdan, told the UN Security Council “no country wants to avoid an operation in Rafah more than Israel” but insisted “the road to a permanent ceasefire passes through” the southernmost city in Gaza where 1.5 million Palestinians are sheltering.

A day after a US resolution perceived as tolerant of a ground invasion of Rafah was voted down by Russia, China and Algeria, the Israeli envoy said the only way to achieve a lasting truce is to “end Hamas’s capabilities entirely”.

“This cannot happen unless all of their battalions are demolished. You cannot extinguish a fire by putting out most of it, the fire will grow again and spread. This is what will happen without an operation in Rafah.”

You are only stoking up the flames. Not just Hamas, you're turning the whole world against you.

Israeli government taunts UN aid agency on northern Gaza disaster

The head of the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) earlier said Israel has denied entry to a food convoy to northern Gaza – where infants are dying of starvation – for the second time this week.

He said the last time the organisation was able to send food to the north was nearly two months ago.

Now, the Israeli government’s Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), which is in charge of managing humanitarian aid to Gaza, is taunting the UN agency.

“Perhaps if your organisation wouldn’t be so deeply involved with a terrorist organisation and actually do humanitarian work as you should be, you would know that over the last month over 300 aid trucks were coordinated to northern Gaza,” it says on X, adding none of those were UN vehicles.

‘All our food convoys denied access’ to north Gaza: UNRWA

Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), says “all our food convoys have been denied access” to northern Gaza this week even as famine looms.

“With unimpeded access this man-made starvation can still be averted,” he wrote on X.

Israel continues to insist that it imposes no restrictions on entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, even as the UN says one-in-three babies under two years old are exposed to extreme malnutrition in northern Gaza, with lack of food rising rapidly across the enclave.

Israeli army has killed at least 560 Palestinians awaiting aid trucks: Rights group

The Geneva-based Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor says in a new report that the Israeli military has killed at least 560 and injured 1,523 other Palestinians in incidents involving aid trucks amid its war on Gaza.

The casualty tolls comprise Palestinian civilians who were awaiting humanitarian aid amid Israeli-imposed starvation, in addition to aid workers, and Palestinians responsible for aid protection and distribution.

“Israel uses hunger as a standalone war crime,” the rights group said.

The report comes after the latest Israeli attack on aid seekers at the Kuwait Roundabout earlier today killed at least 19 Palestinians, with Gaza officials saying the Israeli military used its tanks. The Euro-Med Monitor also reports that Israeli tanks and quadcopters were used.

The Israeli military again denied responsibility.

UN: Gaza famine imminent as agriculture sector ravaged

The latest analysis from the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization shows famine is imminent in northern Gaza between now and May, says Rein Paulsen, the director of its Office of Emergencies and Resilience.

That is in part because of widespread damage caused by the Israeli military to the agricultural sector in the Gaza Strip.

“When it comes to livestock losses – obviously this is a sector we’re very concerned about as it’s indispensable for the livelihoods and the survival of families in Gaza – we estimate that 60 percent of the milk cows have been killed,” Paulsen says.

When it comes to meat production, as much as 70 percent of the cattle stock has been killed. About 60 percent of small ruminants such as goats and sheep have been killed.

“When we look at the trajectory of food security and nutrition statistics, we are facing a catastrophic situation in technical terms.”

US proposes captive-to-prisoner ratio in Gaza truce talks: Report

An Israeli official briefed on the talks told the Reuters news agency that “significant gaps” have come to light on the question of the ratio of jailed Palestinians to be released for the Israeli captives.

“The United States put a bridging proposal on the table, to which Israel responded positively. Hamas’ response is pending,” the official was quoted as saying. Earlier this month, Hamas proposed that Israel release between 700 and 1,000 jailed Palestinians in return for female, minor, elderly and infirm captives.


It's not about the quantity, definitely not since Israel keeps taking more hostages daily. It's about ending the war, yet Netanyahu wants to continue at all cost.

Hamas official says ‘we’re not ready to discuss any further proposals’

Hamas’s political bureau official Bassem Naim says a lot of “misinformation” has been circulated through the media in recent days regarding the ongoing truce talks in Doha.

He said the Israelis are focusing on only one aspect of the negotiations, the release of captives, and are unwilling to discuss Hamas’s three demands – a permanent end to the war, “total withdrawal” from Gaza and the return of displaced people to their homes.

“Hamas has clearly told the mediators that we cannot accept negotiating any prisoner deal unless the Israelis give these guarantees,” Naim told Al Jazeera, describing it as “shocking” that the latest Israeli proposals retract points previously agreed on at prior talks.

“Now suddenly, the Israelis are rejecting these. We believe it is not about a ceasefire, it is about Netanyahu using the negotiations as a cover to gain more time to continue his plans for the complete bombardment of the rest of the Gaza Strip, including Rafah, and to relieve international pressure,” said Naim.

“We told the negotiators tonight we’re not ready to discuss any further proposals. There are talks between the Israelis and the negotiators. There are no talks with us. It is up to the superpower Americans and Europeans to exercise more pressure on Netanyahu not endanger the whole region and undermine any chance of long-term stability, security and prosperity.”


Israel keeps ‘pushing the limits’ in truce talks in Qatar

Since there is no UN Security Council resolution supported by the US demanding an immediate ceasefire, Israel continues to “buy time” for its planned invasion of southern Rafah, an analyst says.

“Israel doesn’t feel the full pressure from the United States, so it can keep pushing the limits. The US is requesting them not to go into Rafah, but it is not requesting them directly to agree to a ceasefire,” said Luciano Zaccara from Qatar University’s Gulf Studies Center.

“This could be just buying time to ready the military operation on Rafah.”

Euro-Med Monitor: Israeli army burning homes near al-Shifa Hospital

The Geneva-based Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor says the Israeli military is torching residential buildings near al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. “In several incidents, Israeli forces set fire to homes while occupants were inside, preventing evacuation or fire extinguishing,” it says in a statement on X.

“We urge the Secretary-General of the UN and the Commissioner of the EU to intervene immediately, demanding that Israel cease its serious violations against civilians in Gaza City, including burning residential buildings and forcibly displacing residents towards southern Gaza.”

About 80 percent of the shops in Hebron’s old city have been shuttered due to military curfews and closures, the Hebron Reconstruction Committee said earlier this month.
