Israel’s assaults on Gaza have stretched right into a second day after a seven-day truce with Hamas ended as Qatar and Egypt mediate talks to resume a pause in hostilities.
The United Nations mentioned on Saturday that the combating would worsen the acute humanitarian emergency in Gaza.
“Hell on Earth has returned to Gaza,” mentioned Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the UN humanitarian workplace in Geneva.
“Today, in a matter of hours, scores were reportedly killed and injured. Families were told to evacuate, again. Hopes were dashed,” UN support chief Martin Griffiths mentioned, including that kids, ladies and men of Gaza had “nowhere safe to go and very little to survive on”.
Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary in Deir el-Balah in central Gaza mentioned Israeli tanks haven’t stopped shelling the enclave and gunboats are attacking its shoreline.
“Houses have been targeted. At least three mosques were hit. Areas across the Gaza Strip – the north, south and centre – have all been targeted.”
The Israeli military mentioned on Saturday that it hit greater than 400 targets in a single day, together with within the Khan Younis space within the south, to which tens of 1000’s of civilians evacuated over the previous month.
