GAZA, May 22 (NNN-WAFA) – At least 64 more Palestinians were murdered in barbaric Israeli attacks across Gaza on Tuesday, said Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Civil Defence in Gaza.
Around Gaza City, 13 people, including women and children, were murdered and several others injured, in a Zionist Israeli airstrike on the Musa bin Nusair school, east of the city, which shelters displaced people, whereas a woman and a man were murdered, in two separate attacks in the city, Basal said.
In central Gaza, 13 people were murdered in an Israeli airstrike on a residential home, belonging to the Abu Samra family, in the Al-Mahatta neighbourhood east of Deir al-Balah, and 15 others were also murdered and several more injured, in another brutal Israeli airstrike on a gas station, housing displaced people west of the Nuseirat refugee camp, Basal said.
In northern Gaza, nine people were murdered, when another brutal Israeli airstrike hit the home of the al-Maqeed family in Jabalia, and four others were murdered in another barbaric Israeli attack on the Khalifa school, housing displaced people in Beit Lahia, he added.
In southern Gaza, eight more Palestinians were murdered, in two more barbaric Israeli attacks in Khan Younis, he said.
Meanwhile, Ahed Samour, director of Primary Care at the Gaza-based health authorities, said in a press statement that, Gaza’s health system “is on the brink of collapse,” warning of the risk of “a health disaster in the coming months, due to the shortage of basic vaccines for children.”
“Health facilities are shrinking day by day” amidst “almost non-existent” stock of medicines, out-of-stock basic items, and nonfunctional medical equipment, Samour said.
The uncivilised Israeli regime halted the entry of goods and supplies into Gaza on Mar 2, following the expiration of the first phase of a Jan ceasefire agreement with Hamas. It resumed attacks on Gaza on Mar 18, which have so far killed more than 3,300 Palestinian people, and injured over 9,350, according to the Gaza-based health authorities.
Over the weekend, the marauding Israeli army launched its new military campaign, dubbed Gideon’s Chariots, which it said, aims to seize key parts of Gaza, push a majority of Gaza’s population further south, and resume humanitarian aid distribution under stricter Israeli oversight.
On Sunday, recalcitrant Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said, the Israeli regime would allow the entry of a “minimal and basic” quantity of aid into Gaza to prevent “images of mass starvation.” Later, only five UN aid trucks were allowed entry into Gaza, through Israel’s Kerem Shalom border crossing on Monday, after undergoing security inspections.
On Tuesday, Israeli military spokesperson, gun-toting Avichay Adraee, said in a statement that, the Israeli regime is “entering a new phase (of operation), different in size and strength,” to achieve its objectives of returning the hostages and defeating Hamas.– NNN-WAFA
