Palestinians are squarely focused on surviving Israeli air strikes and acute shortages.

“About the aid, this is something frivolous, we want nothing from Arab and foreign countries except to stop the violent bombardment on our houses,” said El-Awad El-Dali, 65, speaking near the rubble of ruined homes. The US and Egypt have been pushing for a deal with Israel to get aid delivered to Gaza, and the White House said yesterday it had been agreed for up to 20 trucks to pass through the Rafah crossing from Egypt in the coming days, with hopes for more trucks later.
The region remained volatile in the aftermath of an explosion at Gaza’s Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital late on Tuesday, which Palestinian officials said killed 471 people. Israel and Egypt have upheld a blockade of Gaza since Hamas took control of the territory in 2007, tightly controlling the movement of goods and people.
“There was a woman screaming from under the rubble: ‘Save us, save my daughter-in-law, she is bleeding’.”“We want safety, we are civilians, not soldiers, children are out on the street, this is one, two, three, four young children they all ended up on the street, with no food or water, not even international protection nor human rights,” said Salwa Abu Taya, holding a child in her hands.
