The remains of Israel’s flat Rafa ruins hit 3 houses as Gaza’s latest strike
Warning: This story contains disturbing images of death.
Residents say Israeli troops are in the remains of the city of Rafa on the southern edge of the Gaza Strip because they are concerned about part of the plan to detain people in a huge camp on barren ground.
Since Israel imposed a six-week ceasefire, no food or medical supplies have failed to reach the 2.3 million residents of the Gaza Strip in nearly two months as Israel imposed its longest total lockdown.
Israel rebooted its ground movement in mid-March, and has since seized a lot of land and ordered residents to get rid of the “buffer zone” around the edge of Gaza, including all Rafah, which accounts for about 20% of striptease.
Israeli public broadcaster Kan reported on Saturday that the military is building a new “humanitarian zone” in Rafah to move civilians to prevent Hamas fighters after security checks. The assistance will be distributed by a private company.
The Israeli military has not commented on the report and has not immediately responded to Reuters’ request for comment. Residents say mass explosions can now be heard constantly from dead zones that once were 300,000 cities.
“The explosion never stops, day and night, every time the ground shakes, we know they are destroying more of Rafa’s houses. Rafa’s disappearing.”
He said he was receiving calls from friends until the Egyptian border was spread across Egypt’s borders and their children were awakened by the explosion.
“We are afraid that they can force us into Rafa, which will be like a concentration camp cage, completely blocked the world,” Abu Mohammed, another displaced person in Gaza told Reuters in a text.
27 Palestinians report killed in the latest strike
According to local health officials, Israel’s strike on the Gaza Strip killed at least 27 Palestinians. The Israeli military did not immediately comment.
An air strike attacked a house in Beit Lahiya, killing 10 people, including a Palestinian prisoner Abdel-Fattah Abu Mahadi, who was part of the ceasefire. His wife, two children and a grandson were also killed, according to the Indonesian hospital.
Another strike attacked a house in Gaza city, killing seven people, including two women, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health’s Emergency Services. Two other people were injured.
Later on Sunday, a strike attacked a house in the southern city of Khan Yunis, killing at least 10 people, including five siblings aged four to four, according to the Ministry of Health. Nasser Hospital said two other children were killed along with their parents.
Gaza on the cliff of mass hunger, disease: United Nations
Israel created a full blockade on Gaza on March 2, saying that in the first six weeks of the armistice, sufficient supply reached the territory and it did not consider the population at risk. It says it can’t allow food or medicine because Hamas fighters will take advantage of it.
The United Nations agency said that since Hamas fighters attacked Israeli communities on October 7, 2023, Gaza people are now at their worst.
The United Nations Supreme Court began hearings on Monday that Israel is obliged to promote humanitarian aid to the territories it occupied.
At least 23 Palestinians living inside schools in the Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City were killed overnight on Wednesday. The strike caught fire on tents and classrooms, causing widespread damage.
So far, talks mediated by Qatar and Egypt have failed to expand the ceasefire, during which Hamas released 38 hostages and Israel released hundreds of prisoners and detainees.
Fifty-nine Israeli hostages are still held in Gaza; less than half of them are considered alive. Hamas said they can only be released under the agreement to end the war. Israel said it would agree to temporarily pause the fight unless Hamas was completely disarmed, and the warriors refused.
The Qatari Prime Minister said on Sunday that efforts to reach a new ceasefire in Gaza have made some progress.
On Friday, the World Food Program said the Gaza Strip had its longest closure ever, and it had run out of Gaza’s food stocks.
Some residents tour the streets, looking for weeds that naturally grow on the ground. Others picked up dried leaves from the tree. The fishermen were desperate and turned to catch turtles, peeled and sold meat.
According to Israelalsies in Israeli Tales, Gaza killed 1,200 fighters led by Hamas and attacked Gaza in October 2023. Since then, Israel’s attack on the enclave has killed more than 51,400 people, according to Palestinian health officials.
