War in the Gaza Strip. Humanitarian aid reaches again
Israel agreed to resume the supply of help after the blockade from the beginning of March. On Monday, the first transports entered the Gaza Strip. It was noted that the help will be “minimal” for now, until the new distribution system is being implemented, which is to prevent Hamas from robbing transports.
Aid organizations already present in the Gaza Strip, including the UN, criticize the planned system, claiming that it provides aid management in the hands of one of the parties to the conflict, forces another resettlement of Palestinians, and so will not be able to meet their needs. According to the UN, during the blockade, the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip deepened, and the situation is the worst since the outbreak of war in the autumn of 2023.
“Huge reward for attacks”
French President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister of Great Britain and Canada, Keir Starmer and Mike Carney, called on Monday Israel to suspend the offensive and fully unlock assistance, emphasizing that they would not be idle against “scandalous activities” of Israel and take “specific measures against him.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu replied that the position of three leaders is a “huge reward for attacks” and taking away the right to self -defense from Israel.
The war in the Gaza Strip lasts from October 7, 2023, when Hamas invaded the south of Israel, killing about 1,200 people, and 251 kidnapping. According to the Israeli army, 23 hostages remain in captivity and the bodies of 35 more people are detained.
