Humanitarian crisis and fighting

Day 162 of Israel’s war on Gaza: Key events, It has been reported that Israeli forces have killed at least 36 people after hitting a house near the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza as a result of an air strike.

There were a large number of children killed in the Gaza airstrike, and even pregnant women were among the dead, according to the government’s media office in Gaza.

There has been a lot of progress in Gaza with the unloading of the 200 tonnes of aid that the Open Arms aid ship brought with it from Cyprus on Tuesday.

This week, Cyrus, the European Union, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates launched the first phase of a project to supply humanitarian supplies to Gaza via a Mediterranean maritime corridor. Japan has said it will also participate in the project.

During a recent visit to the Emirati hospital in Rafah, southern Gaza, Dominic Allen, an official from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), said the conditions in the facility’s maternity ward were deeply disturbing and that it should be improved.

 In an interview, Allen told the channel that doctors report they are no longer seeing normal-sized babies. Sadly, they do see a disproportionately higher number of stillbirths and neonatal deaths, which is a tragic result.”

There is a high level of acute malnutrition among children under the age of two in northern Gaza, according to UNICEF, WHO’s children’s agency. This is up from 15.6 percent in January.

Tensions in the region and diplomacy

Netanyahu’s comments on Hamas’s proposed ceasefire in Gaza, a new proposal announced by the Palestinian group Hamas this week, were dismissed as “ridiculous” by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel will, nevertheless, send a delegation to Qatar, headed by the head of its Mossad intelligence agency, to participate in the truce talks that are being held there.

In order to invade Rafah, where about 1.4 million Palestinians are taking refuge, Netanyahu announced that the Israeli military has approved a plan for a ground invasion. It has been warned that Israel may not go ahead with the plan by the UN, as well as countries like Germany and the Netherlands.

It is of the utmost importance that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken sees a clear and implementable plan for Rafah, including a plan for civilians to be removed from harm’s way.

Olaf Scholz, the German Chancellor, is set to visit Jordan and Israel on a two-day visit to the region during which he is scheduled to discuss the need to increase humanitarian aid supplies to Gaza.

The West Bank is experiencing violence

There has been a physical assault on Palestinian shepherds and farmers in the Masafer Yatta area, south of Hebron, by armed Israeli settlers, who have blocked them from accessing their grazing fields. In the attack, a Palestinian boy of 14 years old was injured.

The UN in Geneva was warned by several Israeli NGOs that the war in Gaza is putting strain on Israeli prisons and possibly contributing to a “crisis”. Detainees are being subjected to “systemic abuse” and torture in a record number, according to human rights organizations.
