Since more then four months the Zionist State has blocked the humanitarian aid to Gaza. According to Palestine Chronicle 76,450 trucks with gasoline, food and humanitarian aid supply intended to trespass the encirclement of the armed forces of the Zionist State, but got detained and could not enter Gaza. This results a humanitarian crisis for the Palestine people. According a spokesman of the Gaza civil defense, families ”have not eaten for days”.
The hunger and malnutrition are not the only consequences of this war crime and crime against humanity, but is also leading to the appearance of even worse illnesses and to the worsening of the already existing. Children are suffering hunger and starve to death, the mortality of babies is increasing, pregnant women are loosing their unborn children, and elder and seriously ill people have no access to medicine and die in result of it.
For example 69 children died due starvation and 650.000 are in serious risk of death in result of hunger an malnutrition and 620 persons died due to the lack of medicine and food. 60.000 pregnant woman are in serious danger, being without food and access to medical support. 12.500 cancer patients do not have any access to elementary medicine, necessary to fight and detain the progress of this mortal illness.
The genocidal State of Israel can continue its campaign of extermination by starvation only due to the active and silent support of the imperialists, mainly from Yankee imperialism.
Taking advantage of the despair due starvation, the Israeli and U.S. forces are “controlling” the distribution of food, creating “Death Traps”. Distributing a minimum amount of food to the Palestinian people in so called “humanitarian aid centers”, where at times between 20,000 to 30,000 people gather in the sun in the hope to get something to eat, only to be the target of massacres. According to the Government Media Office in Gaza, 877 Palestinians have been murdered, 5,666 wounded and 42 disappeared in these extermination centers. 57 aid points and 42 food banks have been bombed by the Israeli.
This tactic aims to weaken the resistance of the Palestinian people, but the effect is the contrary. The misery, death and starvation together with all this scenery of genocide against the Palestinian people is nourishing the resistance and temples the determination of each Palestinian soul.
In the south of Gaza,in Khan Yunis the Palestinian resistance is giving blows to the Israeli army, causing losses and wounding within the enemy lines. There the Al-Quds and Al-Qassam Brigades are pushing forward operations, in which blow up explode vehicles with booby-traps, and attack houses where the Israeli troops try to hide, with the goal to capture soldiers and causing numerous losses.
The Israelis have to evacuate their wounded using helicopters and with a high grade of security measures, due to the big threat. Meanwhile they are obliged to bomb the Palestinian population where the own Israeli Army is present, with which they also do friendly fire, hitting their own soldiers.
According the Al-Qassam Brigades, them, in cooperation with the Al-Quds Brigades have attacked three Israeli Tanks in Shujaiya, using explosive devices and rockets. As well as they have eliminated a Israeli soldier in Shejaiya, eastern Gaza.
Various Israeli brigades are retreating from Gaza. The Palestinian counteroffensive is earning the crops of their fierce of resistance. From the 7th of October 2023 until now 900 Israeli soldiers and officers have been eliminated, according to Israeli sources.
