The plan of Israel to expand its Gaza offensive, to displace people within the enclave and to take control of the distribution of aids, has horrified the Gazans, who have suffered several shifts and severe food shortages for almost 19 months.
Israel has blocked all help when entering the Gaza Strip that fell home, which had improved the access of Gazanians to food and medication.
Moaz Kahlout, a displaced man from Gaza city, said many use to GPS to locate the rubble of the houses that were wiped out during the war.
“They destroyed us, displaced us and killed us,” said Enshirah Bahloul, a woman from the southern city of Khan Younis. “We want security and peace in this world. We don’t want to remain homeless, hungry and thirsty.”
Mohammed al-Seikaly was on Monday for several people who were killed in an Israeli air raid in a building in Gaza City to take part in a funeral in a building in Gaza.
“There is nothing in the Gaza strip that was not impressed by rockets and explosive barrels, and there is still threats to expand the operation,” he said.
“I ask in front of the whole world, what remains to be bombarded?”
On Tuesday, Israeli military strikes killed at least 37 Palestinians across Gaza, the local health authorities said. Doctors said that at least 17 people, including women and children, were killed in a school -age displaced in the Bureij camp in the Central Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military said that “terrorists” met a command center with which they planned weapons and planning and stage attacks against Israel.
Military expansion no solution: father of the hostage
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the extended military operation was “intensive” and includes keeping confiscated areas and the move of Palestinians “for their own security”.
Some Israelis are also against the plan. One person was arrested after hundreds of people protested before the parliament on Monday when the government opened for their summer session.
Families of hostages that are kept in Gaza are afraid of what an extended military operation or confiscation could mean for their relatives.
“I do not see the expansion of the war as a solution – it has not so far led us anywhere. It feels like Déjà Vu a year ago,” said Adi Alexander, father of the Israeli American Edan Alexander, a soldier who was captured in October 7, 2023.
The father hopes to visit US President Donald Trump in the Middle East who will play for the next week. The Israeli leaders said that they only plan to expand the operation in Gaza after Trump’s visit and leave the door open for a possible deal.
Trump is not expected to visit Israel, but he and other American officials have often talked about Edan Alexander, the last American Israeli in Gaza, who is still considered alive.
Moshe Lavi, the brother -in -law of Omi Miran, 48, the oldest hostage who is still alive said the family was concerned about the Israeli plan.
“We hope that it is only a signal for Hamas that Israel is serious about reducing its state and military skills as a lever for negotiations, but it is unclear whether this is an end or a means,” he said.
Lack of food in the Gaza
In the meantime, dozens of Palestinians gather in front of a charity kitchen every day, which distributes hot meals to expelled families in southern Gaza. Children push pots or buckets forward and push and push a desperate attempt to eat their families.
“What should we do?” Asked Sara Younis, a woman from the southernmost city of Rafah when she was waiting for a hot food for her children. “There is no food, no flour, nothing.”
An Israeli civil servant said the plan would be to move the civilian population south and to control the distribution of help to prevent food from falling into the hands of Hamas. The United Nations office for the coordination of humanitarian matters on Tuesday rejected the plan as “the opposite of what is needed”.
Children in Gaza show signs of acute malnutrition when Israel’s blockade extends over food and medicine for the third month. The efforts of the aids have stalled, and the UN warning is already waiting with almost disappeared supplies.
2.3 million people of Gaza fight with a lack of food, many of which only eat once a day. The World Food Program said on April 25 that it no longer had food reserves in the strip.
Nidal Abu Helal, a displaced person from Rafah who works in the charity, said that the group is increasingly concerned that people, especially children, will die of hunger.
“We are not afraid to die from rockets,” he said. “We fear that our children will die of hunger before us.”
Some residents have eaten weeds or leaves, while the fishermen shot into sea turtles and the sale of their meat.
The Hamas, the militant Islamist group, which has headed Gaza since 2007, accuses Israel of “using food as a weapon in their war against people in Gaza”.
The war was triggered on October 7, 2023 by the attacks on South Israel led by Hamas, in which 1,200 people were killed and 251 as hostage as the Tallies of Israel was concerned.
According to the local health authorities, Israel’s campaign in Gaza has since killed more than 52,000 Palestinians, mainly civilians, and reduced a large part of Gaza Strip on ruins.
