At least 12 Palestinians have been reported killed in Gaza in the past 24 hours, including eight whose bodies have been found among the rubble.
The latest Israeli violation of a US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which became effective on October 10, is the Gaza City attack.
Israel’s government media office on Monday criticized the truce for its “grave and systematic violations,” noting that the Israeli government has violated it 875 times since it’s enacted.
The office stated in a statement that at least 265 Israeli troops have been shot at Palestinian civilians and continue to use Israeli air and artillery, as well as unlawful demolitions of Palestinian homes and other civilian infrastructure.
Since the ceasefire began, Israel has attacked Gaza, killing at least 411 Palestinians, and injuring 1, 112 others, according to the statement.
Worse shelter conditions
In addition, hundreds of thousands of Palestinian families who have been displaced by Israel’s genocidal conflict in Gaza still struggle with a lack of basic supplies, including food, medicine, and shelter.
Israel is required to meet the needs of the Palestinians there under international law as the occupying power.
However, according to the UN and other humanitarian organizations, Gaza has consistently been denied unrestricted access to aid.
Rights groups claim that Israel’s refusal to let tents, blankets, and other supplies enter Gaza is a result of its genocidal policy and threatens Palestinian lives. A number of winter storms have recently pummeled the Strip.
Out of the 43, 800 trucks that were supposed to be allowed in since the ceasefire’s implementation in October, only 17, 819 trucks, according to the Gaza Government Media Office, entered the territory on Monday.
The office estimated that that is only 244 trucks per day, which is far below the 600 trucks that Israel agreed to allow daily into Gaza under the ceasefire agreement.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres reiterated on Monday that “every restriction on the entry of aid into Gaza, including shelter material,” should be lifted.
“We have continued to receive reports of air strikes, shelling, and gunfire in all five governorates of Gaza over the past 24 hours, despite the ceasefire. According to Stephane Dujarric, this has resulted in reported casualties and interruptions to humanitarian operations.
He claimed that the UN’s humanitarian partners are working to meet the significant need for shelter, particularly for displaced families living in unsafe conditions.
About 3,500 families in flood-prone areas have been living in flood-prone areas, according to his statement, “our partners continue to work to improve access to dignified shelter for approximately 1.3 million people in Gaza in the past week.”
Dujarric claimed that although the needs are still pressing, aid deliveries have included tents, bedding sets, mattresses, and blankets as well as children’s winter clothing.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced the appeals one day after the country’s government claimed a shortage of medications and other medical supplies was preventing patients from receiving care.
During Israel’s two-year bombardment of Gaza, nearly all of the hospitals and healthcare facilities were attacked, causing at least 125 injuries, including 34 hospitals.
Since its genocidal war broke out in October 2023, the Israeli army has killed at least 70 Palestinians in Gaza, 9 of whom are mostly women and children. Additionally, 171 are injured.
