Oh my God, said Qideh al-Burum, the Gaza Civil Defense Agency, that there was information that three medics from the agency had been killed in Israeli airstrikes while they were rescuing people in the central Bureij refugee camp. Also, 12 other medics were injured in the same attack, which raises concern of the severity of the risks of the persons who are directly involved in the current conflict.
The current situation in Gaza City is still volatile; many were said to have run through the streets in terror, and there are still dead bodies and those injured lying on the streets of eastern Shujayea after the attacks by the Israeli army.
Responding to the growing tensions, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said that Iran is fighting the country from seven fronts using regional militants, asserting that “whoever does such a thing to us will not exist.”
However, in a rare act of positivity, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reported that Israel has consented to the provision of electricity at the main desalination plant in southern Khan Younis, which can supply the bare minimum water requirement of nearly one million extremely scarce water-strapped Gazans.
The war between Israel and Gaza continues to rage on and is equally costly as the recent statistics show that over 37,765 people have been killed and 86,429 injured when the war started on the 7th of October. On the side of the IDF, the count is 1,139 dead, with first-hand knowledge of dozens of captives in Gaza.
Currently, the international community has not stopped urging both factions to search for a political solution to the ongoing conflict and to abide by the Law of Armed Conflicts and the Right of People to Self-Determination and Conduct Free and Genuine Elections, especially in the consideration for the protection of civilians’ lives and the delivery of basic humanitarian needs.
