Israel expands operations in the city of Gaza; He tells hungry residents to move to a safe area

Israel’s army called the Palestinians on Saturday in the city of Gaza to move to a humanitarian area that designated in the south as it expanded its operations in preparation to take The hungry city.

Parts of the city, home of almost 1 million people, are already considered “red areas”, where evacuation orders have been issued before the heavy expected fighting.

Help groups have repeatedly warned that a large -scale evacuation of the city of Gaza would exacerbate the Terrible crisis. The Palestinians have been uprooted and displaced several times during the war of almost two years, and many are too weak to move and have nowhere to go.

Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee wrote in X that the army declared Muwasi, an improvised carp camp in southern Gaza, a humanitarian area and urged everyone in the city, which called a strength of Hamas and specified as a combat zone, to leave. The army said they could travel in cars along a designated road without being registered.

The Army, in a statement, provided a map that shows the area in Khan Younges that covers the humanitarian area, which includes the block where the Nasser hospital is located. The area around the hospital has been considered a red zone, although not the medical center itself. Last week, Israel He hit the hospitalkilling 22 people, including Mariam Daggawhich worked for News and other media. The hospital was not under evacuation.

The designated safe zone would include field hospitals, aquatic pipes, food and tents, and help efforts “will continue continuously in cooperation with the UN and international organizations,” said the statement. The United Nations could not be immediately contacted to comment.

Israeli forces have reached humanitarian areas throughout the war, including Muwasi, which previously declared a safe area, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.

The evacuation order occurred one day after Israel arrived at a high -rise building in Gaza City, saying that Hamas used it for surveillance, without providing evidence.

The war began after the terrorists led by Hamas killed around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapped 251 people in their attack to the south of Israel on October 7, 2023. Forty -eight hostages remain in Gaza, with many released through cessation of students or other agreements. Israel believes that about 20 are still alive, although the Bodies of two hostages were recovered during a joint operation at the end of August.

The retaliation offensive of Israel has killed more than 64,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, which does not say how many were civilians or combatants, but they say that women and children constitute half of the dead. The UN and independent experts consider it the most reliable source of war casualties. Israel disputes its figures but has not provided their own.

Israel says that the war will continue until all hostages are returned and Hamas disarms, and that it will retain open security control of the territory of about 2 million Palestinians. Hamas has said that he will only release the remaining hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, a high durable fire and a complete Israeli retreat from Gaza.

“Lack of food, treatment and possibilities”

Shamm Qudeih, a small child who was photographed by Dagga and evacuated to Italy to receive treatment for severe malnutrition and a genetic metabolic disease, celebrated his second birthday in an Italian hospital this week. She was evacuated with her mother and 10 -year -old sister. The Italian Foreign Ministry says that 181 Palestinian children are being treated in Italy.

A photo of Shamm in his mother’s arms in Gaza went viral for the thin limbs of the child, the visible ribs and the anguished face. Shamm weighed around nine pounds when he arrived at the Santoobono Pausilipon Children’s Hospital in Naples.

The child was “in a serious and challenging clinical state,” said Dr. Daniele de Brasi, a specialist in pediatric genetic disease who is treating Shamm. De Brasi said that “a large part” of his lack of complement was due to a genetic metabolic disease called glycogen storage disease, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients, particularly carbohydrates, and can cause muscle weakness and prevent growth. The condition is mainly handled through a high diet in carbohydrates.

Shamm’s mother, Islam Qudeih, said the family has moved more than a dozen times since the beginning of the war in Gaza. It has been a fight to obtain adequate medical attention, he said. The doctors suspected that Shamm had the rare condition, but they could not try it or treat it properly. Qudeih said that his daughter’s condition “worsened as a result of the lack of food, treatment and possibilities.”

Shamm now weighs just over 12 pounds, which is not yet more than half of the average weight for a child of his age, De Brasi said. Its current caloric intake is approximately 500 calories per day, that doctors are gradually increasing. An cornerstone of his diet is a gachas rich in carbohydrates. At night, a power tube ensures that you get the correct combination of nutrients while sleeping. Doctors hope to eliminate the tube in approximately one month.

Shamm’s sister, Judi, has also been treated by doctors after they noticed that she had low weight, said Brasi. Judi has won about five pounds and is in condition. Qudeih said that relief is being allowed to experience his daughters, but he cannot imagine returning to Gaza, where Shamm’s father remains.

“Now there is no way to return, as long as the war is happening. There are no possibilities for my daughters,” Qudeih said.
