Even on Friday, it was reported that over 100 Palestinians had lost their lives in Israeli attacks. Such bloody daily figures have become common again since about a month ago, when Israeli forces, in addition to airstrikes, also launched a ground offensive in northern Gaza Strip.
According to Israel, the attacks are targeting militiamen who are planning war actions against Israelis.
The Palestinian sources, loyal to the terrorist-stamped Hamas movement, make no distinction in their statistics between combatants and innocent civilians. However, witnesses have told news agencies that entire families are often killed when residential areas are bombed.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) is simultaneously warning that aid routes into Gaza have now become too dangerous. Therefore, attempts to deliver emergency aid via the large border crossing Kerem Shalom are being discontinued, writes chief Philippe Lazzarini on X.
On November 16, a relief convoy was robbed by armed gangs. And as recently as Saturday, the aid organization lost some trucks that they had sent in, writes Lazzarini.
