Inside Gaza, cut off from the world by a near total blockade, Israeli airstrikes have decimated entire neighborhoods, leveling homes, schools and mosques. CNN drone footage from Monday showed the level of destruction across parts of the strip, with whole streets flattened in the al-Rimal neighborhood in Gaza City and a row of destroyed buildings known as al-Zahra towers in central Gaza.

Save the Children said Monday that over 1 million children are “trapped” in Gaza with no safe place to go and warned of the devastating impacts of lacking medication and electricity to power vital health infrastructure in the enclave.

“At least 2,000 children have been killed in Gaza over the past 17 days, and a further 27 killed in the West Bank,” the aid agency said on Monday.

“We call on all parties to take immediate steps to protect the lives of children, and on the international community to support those efforts,” Save the Children said, adding that Israeli airstrikes are “killing and injuring children indiscriminately.”

Oh no i conflated the 8 day figure with another article about hospitals from last week. That is completely my bad. You are right here.

Reading articles right now it does appear that it is Isreal that is not allowing fuel to be delivered to Gaza while allies are trying to plead with Israel to allow for safe passage of humanitarian aid. Article from minutes ago https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-promises-unrelenting-attacks-hamas-us-obama-urge-caution-2023-10-24/

It still remains difficult because of how Hamas is not bound by any pressure to follow the agreement for safe passage of aid. What an awful situation. Israel is definitely being overzealous in not allowing the US to let fuel in on the aid convoys agreed on.

I mean I think that if Israel allows food, water, and gas to enter Gaza through humanitarian corridors, Hamas isn't gonna attack the convoys. They disregard the consequences for Palestinian civilians sometimes but they also need to keep their recruiting up, and attacking food convoys would make that impossible.

They might steal some stuff I guess, but it wouldn't harm anyone, since the most that could happen is Hamas gets to fuel a car that gets blown up by an Israeli airstrike as soon as they try to do anything.

Has it been independently verified? The IDF has a long track record of lying about stuff.

[–] OniiFam@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not yet. This is the word of the IDF and a recording released by them. You can listen to it here btw. https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/379539

But so far in combination with the evidence/claims I posted earlier in our discussion, albeit released by the IDF, points towards Hamas stealing resources from hospitals and hoarding it for themselves. Which is consistent with their leader's values and their complete disregard for Palestinians' lives. Even one of Hamas' officials blatantly said himself that they do not care about Palestinians and that it is the UN's responsibility.

I'll wait for the independent verification to draw a conclusion, but that's pretty fucked up if it is true considering the Indonesian hospital generators stopped working today
