The help drip in gaza as hunger grows
A high number of deaths in the Gaza pull And an increasingly vocal protest about the conditions close to the family in the Palestinian territory is accumulating pressure on the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a high negotiated fire with Hamas and leave the almost total blockade of the interlocking of their country. The Gaza Ministry of Health, led by Hamas, said Tuesday that at least 87 people were killed by Israeli military strikes in the last 24 hours alone.
Israel’s defense forces have RAMED OPERATIONS IN GAZA During the last week, killing hundreds of people, many of them women and children, in what the Netanyahu government insists is a legitimate self -defense and completely directed to ensure the return of 58 hostages still sustained by Hamas and his allies in Gaza, and destroying the group. Israel blames Hamas, for a long time a terrorist organization by the United States, Israel and the European Union, for all victims in Gaza, accusing the group of operations in and around the civil infrastructure.
On Monday, for the first time in two and a half months, Netanyahu allowed a handful of trucks that transported help to enter Gaza. He said he had been pressed to facilitate total blockade by allies that could not tolerate “mass famine images.”

On Tuesday there were reports not confirmed that up to 100 trucks had allowed them to cross the border of Gaza. But the United Nations World Food Program said this week that some trucks would be only a drop in the cube given the great and urgent need for food in Gaza, where more than 2 million Palestinians have been trapped for more than two years of blisted war.
Thousands of trucks have aligned for weeks just across the border of Gaza, hoping to cross. No food, fresh water or medicine had entered the territory for almost 80 days under the Israeli block. Hunger is so abundant that the full -fledged famine is stalcing the population of Gaza once again, according to the director of the PMA for the Palestinian territories, Antoine Renard, who has just returned from the enclave.
“You Having around approximately 14,000 children who know what we call severe acute malnutrition, “said News themezone on Monday, which means that these children could die without a quick intervention.” We always expect when it is ‘hungry’. But when the famine is on, it’s too late. That will be a failure of the entire international community. “

Until this week, the Israel government had insisted that there was no food shortage in Gaza. But for the first time, in a message posted Monday on social networks, Netanyahu acknowledged that Gaza is approaching a hunger crisis.
“Our best friends in the world, the senators I know as an enthusiastic supporters of Israel, whom I know for many years, occur to me and tell me:” We give all the support to a final victory: weapons, support for their maneuvers to destroy Hamas, support the UN Security Council. There is one thing we cannot bear: photos of the hungry of the dough. This is something that is not possible to not witness.
As a result of that pressure, it is allowing the limited amount of help to Gaza.
Renard said PMA had enough food waiting, ready to enter, to feed the entire population of Gaza for a month.
“It must stop,” he said about the Israeli block. “The civilian population should not be trapped. There is no reason, in reality, to hold them responsible for what are not a part.”
Netanyahu did not appoint any of the nations that exerted pressure on their government to relieve the blockade, and although the closest and most vital ally of Israel, the United States, was almost certain that the country he referred to by mentioning the friendly senators, not only the United States asked for a resolution to the crisis, and other countries have been doing more affirmatively.
In a strongly written statement published on Monday, the leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Canada described the level of human suffering in intolerable Gaza, and threatened to take action.
“The denial of the Israeli government of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable and runs the risk of violating international humanitarian law,” countries said in a joint declaration. “We oppose any attempt to expand settlements in the West Bank … we will not hesitate to take more measures, including specific sanctions.”
Netanyahu denounced the threat, saying in a statement that “asking Israel to put an end to a defensive war for our survival before Hamas terrorists on our border are destroyed and demanding a Palestinian state, leaders in London, Ottowa and Paris offer a Grand Prize for the genocide attack against Israel on October 7 while inviting more than inviting the Cuttocities. such “.
“The war can end tomorrow if the remaining hostages are released, Hamas places their arms, their murderous leaders are exiled and Gaza is demilitarized,” said the Israeli leader. “You can’t expect any nation to accept anything less and Israel will certainly not.
Israel has intensified its war with a new offensive that has killed almost 600 people during the last week, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, led by Hamas.
Doctors are running out of supplies, who can barely treat malnourished children, much less the hundreds of people injured by Israeli strikes who run day after day.
The War in Gaza was caused by the terrorist attack led by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and left another 251 as hostages in Gaza. The retaliation war of Israel has destroyed great stripes of Gaza, displaced 90% of its population, most of them several times, and killed more than 53,500 Palestinians, according to the Ministry of Health of Gaza, administered by Hamas.
