Scattered measures for Gaza help are not adequate.
UN chief Antonio Guterres and EU foreign policy leader Borrell criticized Israel’s “temporary” supply corridor to north Gaza as insufficient.
According to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, “temporary” aid delivery will be permitted through a crossing in the northern Gaza Strip “to ensure the continuation of the fighting and to achieve the goals of the war”.
The Israeli military says it has sacked two officers and censured three others over their involvement in strikes that killed seven aid workers bringing food in Gaza.
UN Human Rights Council adopts resolution calling for Israel to be held accountable for war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly perpetrated in the Gaza Strip.
According to Israel’s Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) office, 100 food packages were airdropped over northern Gaza today, while 155 trucks carrying humanitarian supplies arrived in the Gaza Strip.
Israel announced today that it would “temporarily” open the Beit Hanoon (Erez) border crossing with the Gaza Strip to allow in aid but it has yet to do so. North Gaza is still experiencing acute food scarcity and will soon face full-fledged famine, according to the UN and key non-governmental organizations.
