The first trucks with help began to enter Gaza after 78 days of Israeli blockade. The United Nations said nine trucks received a license on Monday, of which five were able to get to the Gaza Strip. Yesterday, the United Nations said they had been approved for “about 100 more” trucks to enter Gaza.
This number is still well below 500 trucks a day that, according to the UN, passed to Palestinian territory before the start of the war in October 2023 and are essential to meet its needs.
The population in Gaza is confronted with famine, with governments of European countries intensifying the pressure they exert on Israel to stop the escalation of military operations in the lane.
There is hunger and famine in Gaza, where death is rampant.
Curse on the world that does not hear the cries of these children in Gaza.

“Two million people starve” in the Gaza Strip, while “tons of food” remain “on the border”, the World Health Organization has been adorned.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attributed the green light to the distribution of a “basic amount of food” to “diplomatic” reasons, because “girlfriends” countries told him he would not be able to continue the war if “massive images” began to spread.
Gaza: “Very close to war crime”
Israel’s current actions in Gaza are “very close to a war crime,” says former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Olmert, who was prime minister between 2006 and 2009, described the conflict in Gaza “a war without a purpose, a war without the possibility of achieving something that can save hostages.”
Speaking to the BBC yesterday, he added: “This is disgusting and outrageous, in every respect. We are fighting Hamas’ murderers, we do not fight innocent citizens. And that must be clear. “
‘Slaughterhouse’ Gaza because of the bombings
British physician Dr. Tom Raikoio, who works in Gaza, called on world leaders to “stop talking and doing something”, describing the famine and the “huge extent of the disaster”.
Potokaro, who has likened Gaza to a “slaughterhouse” due to the bombings by the Israeli forces, is a member of a group of British specialist doctors and surgeons working in Han Younes.
Sky News spent two days returning with them to Nasser and Amal hospitals, two of the latest operating hospitals in southern Gaza. They are plastic surgeons and orthopedists. In the surgeries there is a rare calm as doctors work with the war outside and a constant flow of injuries that need urgent treatment.
You cannot defeat the people who know how to be happy in ruins and hold tightly to the place they belong.

All patients are malnourished. Children suffer more. The lack of food and water has made them weak and more vulnerable to their wounds.
Gaza hospitals have repeatedly been attacked during the war. Israeli defense forces claim that Hamas is hiding in them or in tunnels below.
Nasser Hospital has not escaped. The burden unit was one of the busiest parts of the hospital until it was destroyed in an air raid.
At least 62 people were killed today by Israeli blows
At least 62 people were killed and dozens were injured by Israeli blows today in the Gaza Strip, according to a report by the Palestinian pockets controlled by Hamas.
The Palestinian WAFA News Agency, citing hospital sources in Gaza, is referring to murderous jumps, Deir al -Balas and near Han Younes, clarifying that dozens of people have been injured.
The Israeli army did not comment on reports. In a post on X platform, he only said that “he hit more than 115 terrorist targets across the Gaza Strip” last 24 hours.
Europe intensifies pressure on Israel
In the face of the devastating humanitarian situation and the escalation of Israeli military operations in the pocket, several European governments raise the tone.
The European Union will launch a process of reviewing the connection agreement it has signed with Israel in force since 2000, Kaya Calas’ head of diplomacy announced. This decision was supported by 17 Member States, according to Paris.
If there is no improvement in the situation for civilians in the Gaza Strip “we have to raise the tone”, the Swedish government judged.
Britain has, for its part, announced that it is suspending negotiations with Israel to conclude a free trade agreement. Reacting to London’s announcement, the Israeli Foreign Ministry stressed that “external pressure will not divert Israel from the path of defending its existence and security.”
As for Calas’ announcement, “reflects a complete misunderstanding of the complex reality facing Israel” and “encourages Hamas”, a spokesman for Israeli diplomacy.
Yesterday Monday London, Paris and Ottawa warned that they were not “crossed” in front of the “scandalous” actions of the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip.
For his part, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose country is Israel’s main ally at international level, said “happy” who finds that “the help has resumed to enter” the Gaza Strip, although he acknowledged that the quantity was not sufficient.
‘I am emotionally dead’
Elderly and children stand for hours in the queues hoping that they will return to their families with food and water. Among them, the 12 -year -old Tzana, who, since an Israeli shooter killed her older brother, has been burdened with the responsibility of finding supplies.
After 18 months of war, teenage Tzana has very little food and water, has no school to go, has no safe space to sleep. There is no electricity and the place she calls her home is a half -destroyed house in the city of Gaza. Its walls are charred by fire.
“No one has left. I feel as if I have died. Emotionally, I’m dead, “while tears rolled. The large family of Jana was decimated. She has lost a brother, a brother -in -law, a cousin and a niece and is afraid of losing her mother, suffering from thyroid cancer who at present cannot be treated in Gaza.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, more than 53,000 Palestinians have been killed in the war for the past 18 months, or about 4% of the lane population. This means that in every 40 people living in Gaza before the war, one is now dead.
West Bank: Fire against Foreign Diplomats
The Palestinian Authority today accused Israeli soldiers of opening fire with a “real fire” against a delegation of foreign diplomats visiting Jenin, an area at the center of an Israeli military attack on the northern occupied West Bank. The Palestinian Authority was organized by diplomats.
The PA Foreign Ministry has released a brief video showing dozens of people, including photographers, near an army checkpoint in Jenin. Two people wearing Israeli army uniforms seem to mark the diplomats group with weapons. Then shootings are heard and the team of diplomats run back to her cars.
Asked by the French Agency, a spokesman for the Israeli Army replied that “the army is in the process of verifying this information”. “It was the last part of the visit and we suddenly heard shots from the Jenin refugee camp,” a diplomat who spoke on condition that he would not be named. “They didn’t shot once or twice. They were like recurring shots. This is crazy. It’s not normal, “he said.
The Times of Israel said the soldiers shot in the air from the inside of Jenin’s refugee camp, saying no injuries had been reported. According to the Palestinian WAFA news agency, the delegation included diplomats from numerous countries.
