In the Gaza Strip the population is exhausted: the assault on humanitarian aid trucks

The population living inside the Gaza Strip is exhausted. This is shown by the images that arrive every day from photographers and international organizations present on site. 85 days have passed since October 7, the day of the terrorist attack carried out by Hamas during the Supernova Festival in southern Israel, but the violence shows no signs of abating. Palestinian victims number over twenty thousand and the conditions in which men, women and children try to survive are disastrous.

Tomas White, director in Gaza of theUnited Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA). “The people are hungry and desperate,” she wrote under the images in which she shows a crowd of Palestinians literally hanging from one of the humanitarian aid trucks. «40 percent of the population is at risk of famine», he added. «More regular supplies are needed: Safe and sustainable humanitarian access is needed everywhere, including the north of the Strip.” Meanwhile it is estimated (UN data) that there are at least one hundred thousand people transferred to Rafah, the southernmost city of the Strip, while fighting intensified in Khan Younis. In the images taken from above with some drones, you can clearly see thousands of tents set up by displaced families seeking safety from the bombings that have hit the Gaza Strip since 7 October.

«We will continue for many months: I will not give in to international pressure», Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced, also in response to the accusations of genocide brought forward by South Africa to the United Nations International Court of Justice. Meanwhile, the international media are writing about a possible new truce that Qatar is mediating for the exchange of 40 Israeli prisoners in the hands of Hamas in exchange for a month's ceasefire in the Strip.
