At least 349 Palestinians were killed and 750 wounded during this period, according to Palestinian health authorities. – Israel bombs from the air, the ground and the sea throughout Gaza, as well as has ground operations. The fighting has increased significantly, and Palestinian groups continue to fire rockets at Israel, writes the UN. – Hellish Lynn Hastings, who is the UN’s humanitarian coordinator for the occupied territories, says that the possibility of continuing to provide emergency aid to people in Gaza is non-existent. – If possible, an even more hellish scenario is about to unfold, one where humanitarian operations can no longer operate, says Hastings. She adds that there are camps without capacity, a healthcare system that is on its knees, a lack of clean water and poor food and sanitation conditions. – That is the recipe for epidemics and a public health disaster, says Hastings. – Unacceptable The UN adds that 100 trucks with emergency aid and 69,000 liters of fuel entered Gaza on Monday. It is only in Rafah that it is possible to distribute food and water. in Khan Younis close by, the fighting has stopped like this. Israel has increased its attacks on southern Gaza after turning its attention there. Israel’s army has created an interactive map where people will be able to see which areas are safe and which are not, and people are constantly being asked to evacuate. Israel receives strong criticism for the evacuation orders, and the UN has announced that civilians who do not want to be evacuated are also protected. – It is unacceptable that civilians have no safe place to turn to. With a military siege in place, there is now not enough humanitarian aid available either, said President Mirjana Spoljaric of the International Committee of the Red Cross when she visited Gaza on Monday.
