The Israeli military started one of the largest strikes on Gaza on Tuesday, according to the residents, and the health officers have issued a new warning that health care by the Israeli blockade of all supplies was exposed to a complete breakdown.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, which was supported by the United Nations, a campaign for the vaccination of Polio, which is supposed to target over 600,000 children, was suspended, which caused the enclave to risk the risk of reviving a crippled disease, which was once as well cleared.
In diplomacy to end the conflict, a Hamas delegation for discussions in Cairo was expected. Two sources familiar with the mediation effort stated that the delegation would discuss a new offer that would contain an armistice for five to seven years after the publication of all hostages and an end of the fights.
The sources said that Israel, which had rejected a recent Hamas offer to publish all hostages to put an end to the war, did not have to react to a revised long -term ceasefire proposal. Israel demands Hamas who reject the militants.
A source of Hamas later denied the knowledge of an upcoming visit and announced Reuters that the group stood its demand that each agreement had to end the war.
The inhabitants of Gaza said that the Israeli forces bombed several areas in the entire enclave of tanks, airplanes and naval boats. The attacks met houses, tent camps and streets, added them.
9 children among the children killed by the last Israeli strikes
An Israeli air raid on Tuesday destroyed a multi -storey house in the southern city of Khan Younis and, according to Nasser Hospital, killed nine people, including four women and four children. The dead included a two -year -old girl and her parents.
“They slept and slept in God’s peace. They had nothing to do with anything,” said Awad Dahliz, the grandfather of the girl killed. “What is the guilt of this innocent child?”
Also on Tuesday, three children and their parents killed in a strike in the built Jabalia refugee camp, and a man and two children killed in a strike in Nuseirad, such as the emergency service of the Gaza Health Ministry and in the local hospitals.
The Israeli military had no immediate statement on the strikes, but Hamas accused Hamas of using the civil infrastructure for militant purposes that Hamas denies.
The air strikes destroyed Bulldozer and vehicles to raise debris and help to regain the corpses caught under the ruins, said officials and residents.
The Hamas said that the destroyed vehicles included nine, which had been received from Egypt, and added that the step of “deepening our people’s suffering in Gaza”.
The Israeli military said that they had hit 40 “engineering vehicles” used for “terrorist actions”, including the execution of the attack on Israel led by Hamas on October 7, 2023.
The vehicles were “seen as a key component in Hamas’ ability to carry out terrorist operations against the defense forces and the state of Israel,” said the military.
“Real disaster” if vaccines do not arrive immediately
Since the beginning of March, Gaza has imposed a total blockade for all supplies and restarted its military operations on March 18 after the collapse of an armistice.
Since then, according to the Gaza health authorities, Israeli strikes have killed more than 1,600 Palestinians, and hundreds of thousands were forced from their houses when Israel recorded a buffer zone in the country that stretched deep into Gaza.
The 18-month bombing campaign of Israel has made almost all buildings in the Gaza Strip uninhabitable, and the 2.3 million people from Gaza now live mainly under temporary tents outdoors. Since the overall blockage last month, all 25 non -supported bakeries have been closed.
According to Israel, enough supplies were sent to the enclave during the six -week ceasefire to keep the Gazaners alive for months. Aid agencies say that they fear that the population is due to hunger and mass disease.
If Polio vaccines do not arrive immediately, “we expect a real disaster. Children and patients must not be used as political blackmail cards,” said Khalil Deqran, spokesman for the Gaza Health Ministry.
He said 60,000 children now showed symptoms of malnutrition.
Israel contested violation of international law
According to Israel, his blockade aims to put pressure on Hamas’ militants, operate Gaza to publish 59 remaining Israeli hostages that were captured in October 2023. Hamas says it is ready to free her, but only as part of a deal that ends the war.
“Israel is fully acting with international law,” wrote Defense Minister Israel Katz on X, in response to the US Senator Bernie Sanders, who has described the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip since March.
“The humanitarian state in Gaza is constantly monitored and large auxiliary variables have been delivered. Whenever it is necessary to provide additional help, it must be ensured that it does not go through Hamas, what humanitarian aid exploits to maintain control over the civilian population and benefit at costs,” wrote Katz.
Almost every night since the beginning of the war in Gaza, the Holy Family Church in Gaza City received a call from Pope Francis, including only two days before his death. Father Gabriel Romanelli tells the Adrienne Arsenault of the citizen about the final call and the effects of the Pope’s extraordinary reach.
Philippe Lazzarini, head of the United Nations Palestinian Aid Aid Aid Aid Aid Aid Aid Aid Aid Aid Aid Aid, described the blockade as a collective punishment of the Gaza people.
“The siege must be removed, supplies have to be incorporated, the hostages have to be published, the armistice has to be resumed,” said Lazzarini on Tuesday in a position on X.
The attack from Hamas led by 2023 on South Israel led to 1,200 deaths and 251 hostages that were brought to Gaza, according to Israeli records.
Since then, the local health authorities have reported that more than 51,000 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli offensive.
