The Israeli army announced on Sunday morning a daily “tactical pause” of several hours in its activities in the southern part of the Gaza Strip. It is said the decision should allow for more aid deliveries.
Until further notice, the disruption will apply from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. (7 a.m. to 6 p.m. CEST) along the road leading from the Kerem Shalom border crossing to Salah al-Din Street and then further north, the armed forces said. via Telegram and X (formerly Twitter). The United Nations and other international organizations were involved in the deliberations.
“Situation is rapidly deteriorating”
Due to the fighting between the Israeli army and Hamas, the World Food Program (WFP) had warned that people in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, which is controlled by the Islamist terrorist organization, could soon suffer the same catastrophic hunger situation as those in the northern areas. “The situation in southern Gaza is rapidly deteriorating,” WFP Deputy Director Carl Skau said on Friday after a two-day visit to the region.
One million people have been displaced from Rafah
A million people have been displaced from Rafah on the border with Egypt, crammed into a crowded area along the beach in the sweltering summer heat. In the northern part of Gaza, the supply of aid has improved somewhat, Skau said. However, food distribution is not guaranteed to be sustainable.
On October 7, terrorists from Hamas and other Palestinian groups attacked southern Israel, killing about 1,200 people and kidnapping another 250 people as hostages in the Gaza Strip.
According to Hamas-controlled health authorities, more than 37,000 Palestinians have been killed in the resulting war, which cannot be independently verified. About four-fifths of the population within the closed coastal strip have had to leave their homes.
