The help centers of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), with the support of the United States and Israel, are closed on Wednesday in the Palestinian territory, where the roads that lead to the distribution sites have become “combat areas”, warned the Israeli army.
After almost 20 months of a devastating war, launched by the attack on Hamas on October 7, 2023 in Israel, the Civil Defense of the Gaza Strip announced the death of at least 48 people on Wednesday in Israeli bombing. Among the victims, 14 died in an Israeli strike at dawn in western Khan Younès (south).
For its part, the Israeli army on Wednesday announced death in the struggle of one of its soldiers in the north of the Palestinian territory.
After a series of chaotic kotic events in recent days near its sites, the GHF justified the closure of one day for “renewal, reorganization and improvement of efficiency.”
American veto to a high fire project
The United States, Israel’s main arms supplier, once again prevented the UN Security Council will claim a high fire and humanitarian access to Gaza on Wednesday by opposing a project of resolution that requires “a cessation of high immediate and permanent fire”, as well as “the lifting of all restrictions at the entrance of humanitarian aid in Gaza and its large -scale safe distribution” on a large scale. “
This is the first veterinarian of the new Trump administration when its Allied Israeli faces a growing international pressure to end the war in the Palestinian territory devastated by the bombing, where the approximately 2.4 million inhabitants are threatened with the famine, according to the UN.
This text, “unacceptable for what he says and unacceptable for what he does not say”, “would undermine diplomatic efforts to achieve a high fire that reflects reality in the field and would encourage Hamas,” he justified the American ambassador to the UN interim brita, just before the vote.
GHF, a controversial humanitarian foundation
After the very partial uprising of a total blockade imposed by Israel for more than two months, depriving the Gazaouis of any humanitarian aid, the GHF began the distribution of packages on May 27.
But its deployment was marked by chaotic scenes accompanied by deadly violence near its centers. The UN refuses to work with this organization due to concerns about its processes and neutrality.
On Tuesday, 27 people on the road to the Center of GHF of Rafah (South) were killed when Israeli soldiers opened fire “in thousands of civilians” several hundred meters met, according to the civil defense.
The Israeli army, who accuses Hamas of doing everything possible to prevent GHF distributions, said that “the soldiers had shot at the warning (…) in the direction of suspects who approached in a way that put their safety in danger.” She said she opened an investigation to throw “all the light” on the facts.
London on Wednesday called an “immediate and independent investigation”, echoing a request by the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres. The UN Humanitarian Affairs Chief Tom Fletcher said that these dramas were “the result of a series of deliberate options” by Israel.
The Israeli army intensified in mid -May its offensive in the Gaza Strip in mid -May, to free the last hostages of October 7, take control of the entire small territory caught between Israel, Egypt and the Mediterranean, and destroy Hamas that took power in 2007.
A humanitarian sailboat towards Gaza
To provide humanitarian aid, a sailboat of the Coalition of the Flotilla for Freedom, with the Swedish ecological activist Greta Thunberg and the French deputy on the left Rima Hassan on board, left on Sunday from Italy to Gaza.
“The Navy mobilizes day and night to protect the maritime space of Israel and the maritime borders,” said General of the General Brigade Effie Defrin, spokesman for the Israeli army.
The militant organization “firmly condemned Israel’s declared intention to attack Madleen”, describing it as “threat”, in a statement published on Wednesday. “Madleen transports humanitarian aid and international human rights defenders, which is a direct challenge to the illegal blockade of Israel, which has lasted decades and the current genocide,” said the coalition.
The October 7 attack led to the death of 1,218 people on the Israeli side, mostly civilians, according to a statement established from official data. Of the 251 people kidnapped that day, 57 are still preserved in Gaza, including at least 34 dead, according to Israeli authorities.
More than 54,607 Palestinians, mainly civil, were killed in Israeli military retaliations, according to data from the Ministry of Hamas, considered reliable by the UN.
