At least 41 people died in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip last night from Friday to Saturday, including 29 close humanitarian aid distribution centers. According to a civilian defender, 22 people lost their lives in the area of the hotel southwest of Chan Junus, and 4 in the vicinity of another center close Rafah. Both cities are located in the confederate part of the Gaza Strip.
The AFP Agency cites the civilian defence spokesperson Mahmud Basal, who gave details of tragic events. According to Al-Jazira television, citing infirmary data in this territory, the full number of victims of night attacks was at least 41.
Since the end of May, erstwhile Israel abolished the blockade of humanitarian aid supplies to the Gaza Strip, the Humanitarian Aid Foundation (GHF) has been distributing it. This institution is supported by Israeli and American authorities.
Criticism of the aid distribution system
According to the UN, the foundation runs besides fewer distribution centers, and the people in them are at large risk. On Monday, the global Committee of the Red Cross provided alarming data on the number of victims.
In the last six weeks, more victims of mass attacks have been treated at the Rafah Field infirmary close the border with Egypt than in the past year. From the end of May to the beginning of July, nearly 900 people died at food distribution points, according to UN data.
Impossible Palestinian elections
Acting manager of the United Nations Agency for the Assistance of Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) Rose himself said the dramatic words of CNN on Monday. Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are forced to make “impossible choices” between hunger and hazard of death if they go to aid points.
Friday evening, during a gathering with parliamentarians at the White House, US president Donald Trump announced the release of more hostages. He hoped that shortly another 10 hostages of Hamas' terrorist group would be released without giving details.
Context of the ongoing conflict
The war in the Gaza Strip was triggered by the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, resulting in over 1,200 deaths, mostly civilians. The Ministry of wellness in the Gaza Strip believes that the Israeli retaliatory run consumed the lives of nearly 60,000 civilians.
The UN points out that the humanitarian situation in the enclave is disastrous. Trump simply expressed his hope that the war in Gaza would shortly be over.
