According to local health authorities, more than 45 people died in the Gaza Strip’s Israeli airstrikes on Monday, including 33 in a school-turned-shelter that was struck as persons slept, igniting their items. The Israeli army claims that the structure was a” control center” for Hamas and that it sheltered “leading extremists.” The agency’s emergency service in Gaza claimed that while people were sleeping, the building was repeatedly hit and caught on fire. Firefighters battle it out to put out the fire and recover the burned remains from online film. This strike comes as Israel launches a new offensive in the Strip, which aims to completely “defeat Hamas” as stalemate efforts are abandoned. Leaders from all over the world have been critical of this, and the EU is considering taking steps if Israel doesn’t put an end to the Gaza siege. Israel’s restrictions on aid entering Gaza have resulted in a lack of simple resources like food and medicine, including fresh water. The Spanish government has urged the government to impose sanctions against those who “want to permanently destroy the two-state answer.” Over the weekend, reports of Jewish hits killing inhabitants of Gaza spread across the region. 7 people were killed in Jabalia in the northeast, according to Mahmud Bassal, a spokesman for the Civil Defense Agency, while two more were killed in attacks on tents in Central Gaza. One of the dying was a girl who was seven months along. Deaths have also been reported in places like Deir el-Balah, Beit Lahia, and Khan Yunis. A humanitarian crises has reached extraordinary levels as a result of the Gaza Strip’s lack of aid. Around 107 trucks containing humanitarian support were transported to Gaza, according to Funders, which is in charge of human affairs under the Israeli defense ministry. This is not nearly much, according to the World Food Programme, because aid vehicles are frequently looted. The US-backed organization, which was supposed to start providing support to the Gaza Strip, has even resigned. Jake Wood, the director of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation ( GHF), stated that he felt forced to resign because the organization could not uphold “humanitarian principles.”
