UN: “There is hell on earth in Gaza”
A ceasefire is crucial to putting an end to the “hell on earth” in Gaza: this is what the head of the UN Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, reported at the Doha Forum (Qatar), the BBC. “The dehumanization of Palestinians has allowed the international community to tolerate continued Israeli attacks on Gaza,” Lazzarini said, stressing that the agency was on the verge of collapse. “It is certainly the worst situation I have ever seen,” he added: “People come to the United Nations to ask for protection, but even the blue flag is no longer protected.” The situation is catastrophic in nature assumed.”

UN: Half of Gaza's population is dying of hunger
Half of Gaza's population is starving as fighting continues between Hamas and Israel, said the deputy director of the United Nations World Food Program (WFP), Carl Skau, as reported by the BBC. Only a fraction of needed supplies have made it to Gaza and in some areas nine out of 10 families are unable to eat every day, the official added, stressing that conditions in Gaza have made humanitarian aid deliveries “almost impossible.” would have.

Air strikes, artillery battles and hand-to-hand combat between Israeli soldiers and Hamas guerrillas from the north to the south of the Gaza Strip.
The war continues and gets bloodier after the United States vetoed at the United Nations the United Arab Emirates' resolution proposing a “humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza” to the Security Council (13 Yes, Britain abstained, Americans No). And the humanitarian catastrophe is worsening with attacks on the approximately 80 daily aid trucks, which are considered inadequate, from the Rafah border crossing into Egypt to the warehouses along a route that has now been shortened to a few kilometers and no longer offers the possibility of continuing towards the center and north. “We will not stop,” says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “The American position at the United Nations is correct, we are grateful to the United States.” Other countries must understand that you cannot support the elimination of Hamas and then demand an end to the war, which would prevent it. We will continue this just war to destroy Hamas and achieve all objectives.”
INSIGHTS
THE BUDGET
National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi speaks on Israeli television of “a forceful action that Sinwar certainly did not expect.” Yahya Sinwar, head of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, is the most wanted man in the IDF, the Israeli army. So far, Hanegbi calculates, 7,000 guerrilla fighters have already been killed. If it were true, and if the estimates released by Hamas yesterday of 17,700 dead and over 46,000 injured in Israeli bombings were reliable, the civilian death toll would be at least around 10,000. In the last few hours alone, 133 people arrived. Sixty-two are said to have arrived at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in the south, and another seventy-two at Martyrs of Al-Aqsa Hospital in downtown Deir al-Balah. There are also 160 injured. Dozens of family members pray in hospital courtyards before moving the bodies to cemeteries and mass graves. Meanwhile, Hamas continues to fire rockets into Israel and the IDF releases a video showing militiamen stealing aid for civilians. An explosive situation, “catastrophic” according to the United Nations, untenable even in Rafah, which remains the safest place but is filling with hundreds of thousands of displaced people from the rest of the Gaza Strip.
THE IMPOSSIBLE ESCAPE
Soon we will reach over a million people crowded together on the border with Egypt. It is the scenario that UN Secretary General Guterres described as “collective punishment of an entire people,” thereby invoking art for the first time. 99 of the Charter of the United Nations, on its own initiative, to submit to the Security Council the Gaza crisis as a threat to security and peace in the world. Israel united in condemning Guterres’ “anti-Semitism.” “There is no other rational explanation for his behavior,” said Netanyahu’s opposition leader Lapid. “We are defending ourselves after our children were killed and taken hostage by brutal terrorists, but now Guterres is suddenly invoking art. 99 to help Hamas.” Foreign Minister Eli Cohen became even harsher: “Guterres dishonors his position and represents the mark of Cain at the United Nations.” On the contrary, a spokesman for Hamas' political office, Ezzat el-Reshiq, defines the American one Veto as “immoral and inhumane”, “a direct participation in the occupation through killings, massacres and ethnic cleansing of our people”. All major human rights organizations, from Human Rights Watch to Amnesty, accuse Biden of “complicity” and failure to exercise “global leadership.”
THE GENERAL
In Tel Aviv, no one can say how long the conflict will last, but according to General Herzi Halevi, the IDF's chief of staff, “more and more terrorists are being killed and wounded every day, and in the last few days we are seeing how many of them are surrendering.” a sign that their network is falling apart and that we need to apply more pressure.” American support is concrete if Biden bypassed Congress at all and abolished the canonical 20-day assessment before deciding to release over 45,000 ammunition, including 14,000 for the Merkava tanks, to send a total of 106 million dollars. Everything included in the military aid package for Ukraine and Israel. Meanwhile, pro-Iranian Yemeni Houthi rebels are threatening to attack all ships in the Red Sea bound for Israel.
