The U.S.-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza—that resumed last month—is killing or injuring at least 100 children a day and turning the enclave into a “no land” for “young lives,” Philippe Lazzarini, the head of UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, said.
Israeli forces continue to carry out new attacks across Gaza and enforce a complete humanitarian blockade.
Haaretz, a top newspaper in Israel, ran an editorial last week that placed blame squarely on the Israeli government for the Gaza ceasefire’s undoing—challenging the propaganda from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and repeated in the Western media that the collapse was the result of an obdurate Hamas.
The Gazan civilians got what was coming, according to the White House.
Israel Katz, the head of the IDF, said last week that Tel Aviv will begin evicting Gazans and annex parts of the enclave if Hamas continues to hold the remaining hostages—stating that the longer the group continues to keep the hostages, the “more territory, it will lose and be annexed to Israel.”
Doctors Without Borders said in a statement last week that it “strongly condemns” Israel’s decision to impose a new siege on Gaza to try and force Hamas to agree to its new ceasefire terms.
U.S. President Donald Trump ordered airstrikes on the Houthis in Yemen over the weekend over the group’s renewed campaign in the Red Sea to target ships after the Israelis imposed a brutal humanitarian aid blockade in Gaza after Hamas refused new ceasefire terms from Israel.
The IDF on Saturday carried out its deadliest strike yet in Gaza amid its ceasefire with Hamas—killing at least nine humanitarian aid workers—three of whom were there to film the distribution effort.
The number of children in northern Gaza experiencing acute malnutrition has doubled in the last month as Israel continues its humanitarian blockade after Hamas refused to accept Tel Aviv’s changes to the ceasefire agreement.
Despite approving $383 million for humanitarian aid for Gaza after a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was announced, the Trump administration has yet to cut any checks so aid groups working in the region have been forced to foot the bill, according to a report.
