Border crossing between Egypt and Gaza opens to let a trickle of desperately needed aid into besieged Palestinian territory as Israel continues to rain bombs on Gaza on 16th day of the offensive.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Hezbollah against opening a second war front with Israel, saying that doing so would bring Israeli counter-strikes of"unimaginable" magnitude that would wreak"devastation" upon Lebanon.
The United Nations has estimated about 100 trucks per day are needed to meet the needs of Gaza, where over 4,600 people have been killed under Israeli air strikes and over a million people have been displaced.Israel has expanded planned evacuations of communities on its northern front with Lebanon as cross-border clashes with fighters from the Lebanese group Hezbollah have intensified since the war in Gaza erupted more than two weeks ago.
Griffiths said the trucks that entered on Saturday were “a very good start but it’s nowhere near enough.” He added the main sticking point was the inspection regime for the trucks coming in. He said it should be “efficient, quick, hopefully random, hopefully light.” This team, which includes doctors, will conduct feasibility studies for field hospitals to be established at Egypt's El-Arish Airport in the Sinai Peninsula and the Rafah border crossing as part of the planning in cooperation with the Egyptian Health Minister.
In a statement, the ministry said 47 of the injured people were in serious condition. The Israeli death toll stands at 1,400 since October 7, according to Israeli official statements. More than 50 Palestinians were killed in Israeli air strikes on Gaza over Saturday night, Gaza medical sources have said.Israel added 14 communities to its evacuation plan in the north of the country, a joint statement by the defence ministry and military said on Sunday.
Hamas officials have said that if Israel starts a ground invasion in Gaza, Hezbollah will join the fighting. In another statement, the group noted that its members targeted an Israeli infantry unit"in the occupied Hunin barracks ," and confirmed that there were casualties on the Israeli side. Pointing to the lack of fuel, the ministry underlined the difficulties in running generators in the region, which has been under two weeks of intense Israeli bombardment and blockade.
Israeli army declares that anyone choosing to stay in northern Gaza and not go to the south under a previous evacuation order will be considered a partner of “terrorists” and maybe killed
