You have 30 days… America’s ultimatum to Israel regarding Gaza
Israel’s attack on the Gaza Strip continues. Israel had made it clear a year ago that its attack on Gaza would continue until it eradicated Hamas. A few days ago, it had also targeted a refugee camp in Gaza. Many people lost their lives in this attack while many were seriously injured. Due to Israel’s continuous attacks on Gaza, the situation here has worsened. It is being told that there is now a shortage of logistics in the relief camps here. Amidst all this, now the news is coming that America has given Israel a 30-day ultimatum. America has told Israel that it will have to increase humanitarian aid in Gaza within the next 30 days. If this is not done, then America can also stop the funding given to Israel.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken wrote a letter
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Minister Lloyd Austin have warned in a letter to Israeli counterparts that these changes should happen at any cost. This letter also cites the US policy of increasing humanitarian aid and providing arms. Now it will be interesting to see whether Israel will accept America’s warning and reduce its attacks on Gaza and allow humanitarian aid to reach there?
The situation in Gaza is constantly getting worse
Due to the continuous Israeli attacks on Gaza in the last few days, the situation here has worsened. This letter from America states that Israel has also targeted Gaza hospitals. Many people have died in this attack too. At least 41 people were killed in Israeli air strikes in Gaza last Sunday. At least 13 of them were children, CNN quoted hospitals as saying. According to officials of Al Awda and Al Aqsa hospitals, at least 22 people were killed in Israeli attacks on Al Mufti School in Gaza’s Nusrat refugee camp. One of the children who died was also a newborn. Despite repeated attempts by the medical team to save the child, he died shortly after reaching the hospital. CNN quoted Gaza Civil Defense as saying that more than 5,000 displaced people are taking refuge in a school run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
According to Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, five children were killed in an Israeli airstrike while playing marbles in the Al Shati camp in northern Gaza. According to CNN, earlier eight members of a family – including six children – were killed in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza when Israeli forces attacked a house in which they were taking refuge, Al Aqsa Hospital reported. Apart from this, six others were killed when Israeli tanks shelled the Bureij refugee camp.
