Members phkrause Posted February 26 Author Members Share Posted February 26 U.S. fears Gaza "is turning into Mogadishu" Palestinian civilians launch search and rescue operations during an Israeli army attack on a Palestinian police vehicle in Rafah, Gaza on Feb. 6. Photo: Ahmed Zaqout via Getty Images The Biden administration asked Israel to stop targeting members of the Hamas-run civilian police force who escort aid trucks in Gaza, warning of famine and a "total breakdown of law and order," Axios' Barak Ravid reports. Why it matters: U.S. officials say they're increasingly concerned that "Gaza is turning into Mogadishu." A security vacuum — and desperation — have opened the door for armed gangs to attack and loot aid trucks. It's a concern the Biden administration has been warning Israel about for several months — and why the U.S. urged the Israeli government to plan for post-war Gaza. Mogadishu — the capital of Somalia, in the Horn of Africa — was once considered the most lawless and dangerous city in the world. There's been a significant decrease in the number of aid trucks entering Gaza in recent weeks, according to the UN humanitarian aid office (OCHA). At least 11 members of the police force in Rafah have been killed in Israeli air strikes in recent weeks, according to U.S. officials. This opened the way for armed gangs to take control of the aid, the officials said. U.S. envoy for humanitarian affairs David Satterfield said at an event last week that the civilian police force in Gaza "certainly include Hamas elements" — but "also include individuals who don't have a direct affiliation with Hamas who are there as part of the Palestinian Authority's remnant presence and security." Many of the trucks that have recently entered Gaza have been overrun by criminal gangs, said James McGoldrick, UN humanitarian coordinator for the Palestinian Territory.

Members phkrause Posted March 8 Author Members Share Posted March 8 Children in Gaza are beginning to succumb in rising deaths after famine warnings After months of warnings over the risk of famine in Gaza under Israel’s offensives and siege, children are starting to die. Read more. Recent developments: Hunger is most acute in northern Gaza, which has been isolated by Israeli forces and has suffered long cutoffs of food supply deliveries. At least 20 people have died from malnutrition and dehydration, according to the Health Ministry. Particularly vulnerable children are also beginning to succumb in the south, where access to aid is more regular. At the Emirati Hospital in Rafah, 16 premature babies have died of malnutrition-related causes over the past five weeks, one of the senior doctors told The Associated Press. Israel has blamed the burgeoning hunger in Gaza on U.N. agencies, saying they fail to distribute supplies piling up at Gaza crossings. UNRWA, the largest U.N. agency in Gaza, says Israel restricts some goods deliveries and imposes cumbersome inspections that slow entry.

Members phkrause Posted March 28 Author Members Share Posted March 28 Doctors visiting a Gaza hospital are stunned by the war’s toll on Palestinian children An international team of doctors visiting a hospital in central Gaza was prepared for the worst. But the gruesome impact Israel’s war against Hamas is having on Palestinian children still left them stunned. Read more. Recent developments: After nearly six months of war, Gaza’s health sector has been decimated. Roughly a dozen of Gaza’s 36 hospitals are only partially functioning. The rest have shut down or are barely operational after running out of fuel and medicine or were damaged in fighting. Health care workers face the same daily struggle as others in Gaza in finding food for their families and trying to ensure some safety for them. Hospitals have special protections under international law, though those can be removed if combatants use the hospitals for military purposes. Israel has alleged that hospitals serve as command centers, weapons storage facilities and hideouts for Hamas, but has presented little visual evidence. Hamas has denied the allegations. Israel has been carrying out a large-scale operation in Gaza’s largest hospital, Shifa, for the past week. RELATED COVERAGE ➤ They fled kibbutzim after Hamas attacked.

Members phkrause Posted April 2 Author Members Share Posted April 2 Aid group says Israeli strike kills 7 of its workers in Gaza, including foreigners An apparent Israeli airstrike killed six international aid workers with the World Central Kitchen charity and their Palestinian driver, the aid group said Tuesday, hours after it brought a new shipload of food into northern Gaza, which has been isolated and pushed to the brink of famine by Israel’s offensive. The source of the fire could not be independently confirmed. Read more. Recent developments: World Central Kitchen, the food charity founded by celebrity chef José Andrés, said it was immediately suspending operations in the region. The strike marked a potentially major setback to efforts to deliver aid by sea as Israel heavily restricts access to northern Gaza, where experts say famine is imminent. Footage showed the bodies of the dead at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, several of them wore protective gear with the charity’s logo. The food charity said early Tuesday that the seven killed include citizens of Australia, Poland, the United Kingdom and a dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada. Three aid ships from Cyprus arrived earlier Monday carrying some 400 tons of food and supplies organized by the charity and the United Arab Emirates, the group’s second shipment after a pilot run last month. The Israeli military was involved in coordinating both deliveries and has said it was conducting a review “to understand the circumstances of this tragic incident.” RELATED COVERAGE ➤ As Israel withdraws from raid on Shifa Hospital, accounts from military and witnesses differ wildly Israel clears way to expel Al Jazeera Iran vows response after strike it blames on Israel demolishes consulate in Syria Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness.

Members phkrause Posted April 5 Author Members Share Posted April 5 🇮🇱 Bibi budges Humanitarian aid falls toward the Gaza Strip after being dropped from an aircraft yesterday. Photo: Hannah McKay/Reuters Three hours after a tough call between President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday, Israel's cabinet approved new steps to increase the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza, Axios' Barak Ravid writes. Why it matters: The U.S. asked Israel to implement those steps months ago. But Netanyahu — who is in a tenuous political position in Israel — has been under pressure from his political base and ultranationalist members of his coalition to limit aid into Gaza. Several hours before the cabinet meeting, Biden presented Netanyahu with an ultimatum: Change course regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, or the U.S. will change its policy regarding the war. An Israeli official said Netanyahu came to the meeting with Biden with a list of steps and told the president he would approve them. A senior Netanyahu aide told reporters the security cabinet approved the opening of the Erez crossing in the northern Gaza Strip for the first time in almost six months.
