Trump says that “people are starving” in Gaza amid the most fatal strikes for 24 hours in months

The local health authorities said on Friday that the Israeli strikes on Gaza have killed more than 250 people since Thursday morning.

When asked whether he supports Israeli plans to expand the war in Gaza, Trump told the reporters: “I think many good things will happen next month, and we will see. We also have to help, also, the Palestinians.

The strikes over the past 24 hours have been distinguished by one of the bloody stages of bombing since the truce collapsed in March, with a new attack soon.

A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Khalil Al -Qarfan, said that air and artillery strikes focused on the northern part of the crowded small pocket, where dozens of people were killed overnight.

Israel intensified its bombing and built a shield along the border despite the increasing international pressure on the resumption of ceasefire talks and ending its blockade in Gaza, as it warned of monitoring international hunger against famine.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza says that approximately 60,000 children are currently showing signs of malnutrition amid renewable shelling and the Israeli siege on the goods that enter the besieged Palestinian territories.

For more than two months so far, Israel prevented the entry of medical supplies, fuel and food in the region – which is the longest that the Gaza Strip faced at all. Since then, relief organizations, including the Red Cross, the stimulant, seemed to have been the humanitarian response in Gaza was about to “complete collapse”.

The United Nations Office for Humanitarian Coordination (OCA) also warned of the worsening malnutrition among children in Gaza.

Extension, intense attack

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on May 5 that Israel was planning an extensive and intense attack against Hamas, as the security cabinet, which may include the seizure of the entire Gaza Strip and dominant aid.

The Israeli defense official said at the time that the operation will not be launched before Trump finished his visit to the Middle East, which is expected to end on Friday.

Israel’s goal in Gaza is to eliminate Hamas, who attacked Israeli societies on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people and seized about 250 hostages.

Its military campaign that followed that pocket was destroyed, almost all residents pushed their homes and killed about 53,000 people, according to the health authorities in Gaza, while relief agencies say the siege caused a humanitarian crisis.

Severe strikes were reported on Friday in the northern town of Beit Lahia and in the Gabalia Refugee camp, where Palestinian emergency services said that many bodies are still buried in the rubble. The Israeli army said that the Air Force made more than 150 targets throughout Gaza, saying that these anti -tank missile positions, terrorist cells, military structures and operational centers.

A night of terror

In the Gabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip, men chose a sea of ​​rubble after strikes, and they withdrew plates of minerals while young children were climbing in the debris.

About 10 bodies lined up in white sheets on the ground, before being transferred to the hospital. The women sat crying nearby and one of them raised a corner of a sheet to look at the face of the dead person.

Ismail, a man from Gaza City, which gave only his first name, described a night of terror. Ismail told Reuters on the chat application, “The unexplored explosions resulting from air strikes and bombing tanks reminded us of the early days of the war. The land did not stop shaking under our feet,” Ismail told Reuters on the chat application.

“We thought that Trump has arrived to save us, but it seems that Netanyahu does not care. Not Trump,” he added.

To us express the uncomfortable destruction

Israel has faced an increase in international isolation for its campaign in Gaza, even with the United States, its most powerful ally, expressing uncomfortable the scope of destruction and the severe situation caused by the siege on food delivery and other vital aid.

On Thursday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Washington is “turbulent” from the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Netanyahu sent a team to Doha to participate in the ceasefire talks with Qatari mediators, but he excluded concessions, saying that Israel was still committed to the defeat of Hamas.

The hostage and missing families forum, which represents some families and supporters of the 58 hostages who are still detained in Gaza, said that Israel had lost a “historic opportunity” to return them home while Trump ended his visit to the Middle East.

“In exciting hours, we define the future of our loved ones, the future of Israeli society, and the future of the Middle East,” the group said in a statement.
