Israel has maintained an eight-week blockade on food, medicine and aid entering Gaza, while continuing aerial attacks on homes and tent shelters – deepening what the United Nations describes as the war’s “worst humanitarian crisis”.
Overnight and early Thursday morning, at least 13 people were killed in Israeli attacks, according to Al Jazeera correspondents. Among the dead were three children in a tent near Nuseirat in central Gaza, and a woman and four children in a home in Gaza City.

Also reportedly killed in a recent attack was local journalist Saeed Abu Hassanein, whose death adds to at least 232 slain reporters in Gaza during the war.
“The Gaza Strip is witnessing a clear military escalation and a soaring humanitarian crisis,” reported Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum from central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah. He noted that rescuers, with much of their equipment damaged or destroyed, are increasingly struggling to reach victims trapped under wreckage.
The communication centre of the Palestinian Authority, which governs the occupied West Bank, said there was “no pause”, “no mercy”, “no humanity” to Israel’s attacks.
The statement accompanied video footage showing an Israeli tank moving through the apparent remains of the Shaboura refugee camp in southern Gaza.
“In Shaboura refugee camp, as in every other corner in Gaza, the devastation never ends,” the centre said.
Gaza’s humanitarian crisis is compounded by Israel’s continued aid blockade, which the acting head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has described as a seeming “deliberate dismantling of Palestinian life”.
“The Gaza Strip is now likely facing the worst humanitarian crisis in the 18 months since the escalation of hostilities in October 2023,” said OCHA in its latest situation update on April 23.
Gaza’s Ministry of Health highlighted the “dangerous and catastrophic” toll on women and children facing malnutrition, with many lacking adequate food, drinking water and baby formula.
Israel’s continued refusal to let aid into Gaza defies a World Court order dating back to May 2024 for it to urgently facilitate aid into the enclave to prevent famine and starvation.
No mercy for terrorists and sypathisers
ReplyDeleteSokong 10000% IFF the real terrorists and sypathisers of ME r identified correctly.
DeleteEnough calories were delivered to Gaza. but was rampassed by militants and denied to civilians. That is why common Gazans protes even though it is dangerous to do so. They are fed up being used as bargaining chip, besides the hostages.
ReplyDeleteHarm-ass militants now must hide in civilian shelters because they have run out of hospitals and schools. Tunnels all gone. Sapot amongst Gazans for militants is all but gone. BBC reports s must be true.

wakakakaka… inconsequential zionist farts rebroadcasted umpteen times!
DeleteIt is now clear that the terrorist’s strategy is no longer using the remaining hostages as bargaining chip. They are now using all 2 million civilians, their own people. They love death more than we love life.
ReplyDeleteIt's their land, mfer.
DeleteDefending it without limits!
some cunts here seems to think they know better than the various and multiple UN agencies that are on the ground reporting and assessing the blatant atrocities, can't discern who the actual terrorist and cowards are, firing from the sky and returning to base, if you cunts don't have any kind words at least have some decency or conscience for the innocent lives that are murdered
ReplyDeleteThose mfers think through that orifice. So too bistro use any other logical devices/body organs.

💥 Houthis' air defenses making the US sweat — 22 drones downed and counting
The Houthis' takedown of scores of MQ-9s and the US’s growing use of standoff munitions and B-2 bombers signal a growing threat from the Yemeni militia’s air defenses.
According to The War Zone, the Houthis’ ability, "at least to a degree," to domestically develop and field missiles is making them a significant challenge.
While not “super technologically advanced,” the Houthis are considered “pretty innovative,” a senior US defense official said.
🔶 Among their most modern weapons are the Barq-1 and Barq-2 SAMs, with a 50-70 km range and a 15-20 km altitude. They're believed to be upgrades of Soviet-era Kub and Buk systems.
🔶 Additionally, the Houthis have developed the Meraj “guerrilla air defense” missile, an upgraded Badr 1-P SAM.
🔶 They also use the Saqr (358) loitering missile, which tracks targets in a figure-eight pattern with infrared sensors resistant to countermeasures.
🔶 Some Houthi SAMs, like the Thaqib series, were created by repurposing old Soviet air-to-air missiles intended for Yemen's MiG-29 fleet, with one even capable of locking onto targets outside the line of sight and behind its launcher.
This week, pro-Houthi media reported a militia attempt to intercept a B-2 stealth bomber using air defenses, forcing it to retreat. The US, reluctant to even admit the use of B-2s in Yemen, has yet to comment.
