The Gaza Strip has once again witnessed one of the most horrific humanitarian crises in history. The death of 151 Palestinians in just one day under the 'Gideon's Chariots' operation launched by israel has shocked the world. At the same time, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has created a new uproar by announcing to send food to Gaza, declaring war and relief together.
The Israeli army has named this ground operation 'Gideon's Chariots', which is being described as the biggest military operation in Gaza so far. Under this, 151 people died on sunday alone. Hamas strongholds were completely destroyed in this operation. During this, Israeli soldiers have claimed to have surrounded the Indonesian hospital in Gaza. 55 people are trapped in the hospital, including doctors, patients and staff. However, the Israeli army claims that there is strong information about the presence of Hamas terrorists there.
Gaza on the verge of hunger
According to the Euronews report, Gaza is currently on the verge of hunger. 5 lakh Palestinians are completely starving. More than 10 lakh people are facing a nutritional crisis. There was a ban on the supply of relief material in Gaza for three months. In view of this crisis, prime minister Netanyahu allowed food relief, but also made it clear that no part of the relief should fall into the hands of Hamas. This decision is being considered more a part of military strategy than humanitarian relief, so that in the name of relief, the control of the Israeli army in Gaza can be deepened.
What does the international response say?
Organizations like the United Nations, Red Cross, and Human Rights watch have expressed serious concern over the Gideon's Chariots campaign. Targeting hospitals has been described as a violation of international law. The situation of the Palestinians was described as the 'worst humanitarian crisis since the Holocaust'.
