GAZA STRIP: In the war-torn Gaza Strip, Palestinians were eagerly awaiting the promised aid trucks following a deal brokered by US President Joe Biden involving Egypt and Israel.
Despite President Biden’s announcement that Israel had agreed to allow limited aid into the Gaza Strip via the Egyptian border, the Israeli military continued to target civilian areas in the Gaza Strip.
At least 600 innocent Palestinians, mostly women and children, lost their lives when Israeli forces targeted Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City.
According to the Palestinian health ministry, at least 3,785 people have been killed in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip in the last 12 days. Entire city blocks have been reduced to rubble, and basic necessities like water, food, and power have been disrupted, leaving over a million people displaced.
UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths remarked, “The extent of death, suffering, and devastation cannot be overstated,” describing the dire situation in this densely populated area with 2.4 million residents.
