Israeli air strikes kill dozens of Gaza in the midst of aggravation of the humanitarian crisis | News Israel-Palestine Conflict

Israeli attacks through the Gaza Strip have killed dozens of Palestinians, including people looking for food at AID Distribution Hubs, because the humanitarian situation already catastrophic in the besieged enclave is deteriorating day by day.

Medical sources told Al Jazeera on Sunday that at least 45 people were killed in Israeli strikes targeting several locations through Gaza, including 29 in Gaza City and north of the territory.

Among them, at least five Palestinian aid applicants killed near the food distribution centers led by the controversial of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) north of Rafah, according to local emergency workers cited by an Al Jazeera correspondent on the ground.

Since the GHF, supported by the United States and Israeli, has taken care of the deliveries of limited aid in Gaza in the middle of a punishing Israeli blockade, Israeli soldiers have regularly shot Palestinians near the distribution centers, killing more than 580 people and injuring more than 4,000, according to the Gaza Media Bureau.

A recent report by the Haaretz newspaper of Israel quoted anonymous Israeli soldiers saying that they had been ordered to shoot on crowds of non -armed aid seekers to disperse them.

“Heavy bombings continue through the Gaza Strip, while we continue to obtain reports from a series of fatal incidents since dawn today,” said Tareq Azzoum of Al Jazeera, reporting Deir El-Balah in the center of Gaza.

Azzoum said the victims included two children killed in an Israeli strike in a residential house in the Zeitoun district of Gaza City. And several rockets also struck southern Khan Younis, where Israeli forces hit a makeshift tent in the Al-Mawasi coastal area, killing five people, he said.

“Witnesses report that explosives trapped have been used to explode entire residential neighborhoods, because the Israeli army says it concentrates operations to Khan Younis to defeat Hamas battalions there,” added Azzoum.

‘The most vulnerable are dying’

Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis aggravates, babies and toddlers die due to a lack of nutrients.

Christy Black, an Australian nurse volunteering in Gaza City for four weeks now, says that the hospital in which she is based is short of medical supplies, including formulas for pregnant women who need nasogastric food. This leaves a lot without the nutrients necessary for lactate-as well as the baby formula, she said.

“Our most vulnerable are dying,” Black told Al Jazeera. “We have seen some babies die in the past two days in Gaza City. It’s really desperate here. “

Malnutrition also makes it difficult to heal the injury, she said, adding that there is a significant increase in respiratory diseases due to the number of abandoned bombs on Gaza.

“We see children going through garbage trying to find something to eat … children who could be nine or 10 years old who look like two-year-old children,” she added.

Ceasefire conferences

With the Israeli bombardment of the relentless besieged enclave, there are indications of a new momentum to end the war following American and Israeli bombing of Iranian nuclear installations and the cease-fire which followed between Israel and Iran.

On Sunday, American president Donald Trump seemed determined to seal a truce. “Agree in Gaza. Get the hostages back !!” He said in an article of social truth. His comments came after saying he thought that a ceasefire could be reached in a week. “I think it’s close. I just talked to some of the people involved,” Trump said on Saturday.

Although Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not comment on the push for a truce, he said in last week that behind -the -side talks had taken place to try to guarantee a 60 -day break in the fighting.

Negotiations revolve around a proposal advanced by the United States in March to extend the first phase of a cease-fire that Israel violated by taking up its bombing of Gaza.

Netanyahu should meet on Sunday evening with security officials to discuss the War of Israel against Gaza and trace the next movements. The army said that it was closer to achieving its military objectives in Gaza.

Hamdah Salhut of Al Jazeera, reported from Amman, Jordan, said: “Netanyahu has been very pressure because Trump has been quite frank for some time that he wants to see a cease-fire in Gaza.”

And before Israel’s attacks on Iran, about two weeks ago, there was a lot of pressure from European allies due to the conduct of the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip, “she said.

Meanwhile, the District Court of Jerusalem has canceled this week’s hearings in the longtime corruption trial of Netanyahu, accepting a request that the Israeli leader made, citing classified diplomatic and security reasons.

It was not clear if a publication on Trump’s social networks – a suggesting that the trial could interfere with Netanyahu’s ability to join negotiations with Hamas and Iran – influenced the court’s decision.

The decision, seen by Reuters, said that new reasons provided by Netanyahu, the head of the Israeli spy agency Mossad and the military intelligence chief justified the cancellation of the hearings.

Netanyahu was charged in 2019 for corruption, fraud and violation of confidence – which he denies. He launched the trial against him as a orchestrated leftist witch hunt intended to overthrow a democratically elected right chief.

On Friday, the court rejected a request from Netanyahu to delay its testimony for the following two weeks due to diplomatic and security issues following the 12 -day conflict between Israel and Iran, which ended last Tuesday.

He was to take a position on Monday for the counter-examination.

“It is the madness that does what the uncontrollable prosecutors do to Bibi Netanyahu,” said Trump in a social article of truth. He said Washington, having given billions of dollars of aid for Israel, was not going to “defend this.”

A spokesperson for the Israeli accusation refused to comment on the post of Trump. Netanyahu republished Trump’s comments on X and added: “Thank you again, @realdonaldtrump. Together, we will make the Middle East big again!”

Trump said that Netanyahu is currently negotiating an agreement with Hamas, although none of the two leaders provided details, and although officials on both sides were soon expressed skepticism on the prospects of ceasefire.
