US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said yesterday, Tuesday, that the United States is in talks with Israel and Egypt about providing safe passage for civilians in Gaza after Israeli air strikes that targeted residential areas.
Sullivan added, in a press conference at the White House, “We are focusing on this issue, and there are ongoing consultations, but its details are under discussion among the executive agencies, and I do not want to announce much about it publicly at the present time.”
The Israeli occupation army is intensifying its raids on the Gaza Strip for the fifth day in a row, leaving more than 900 martyrs and about 4,600 wounded, in addition to massive destruction in populated areas and a mass displacement in the coastal strip, which is 40 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide and is inhabited by 2.3 million people.
At dawn last Saturday, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military arm of the Islamic Resistance Movement ( Hamas ), and other Palestinian factions in Gaza launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, in response to the continuing attacks by Israeli forces and settlers against the Palestinian people, their property, and their sanctities, especially Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem .
The United Nations said that more than 180,000 Gazans have become homeless. Gazans have been living under a siege imposed by Israel for 16 years.
The Israeli occupation continues to bomb homes, hospitals, and medical teams in the Gaza Strip around the clock, ignoring international law, which considers these matters war crimes, which has put the health sector on the verge of a certain disaster.
The continued targeting of the health sector, which was in danger of collapse before the war, portends a greater catastrophe, at a time when the list of losses that occurred during the past days reflects the extent of the catastrophic damage.
The occupation army bombed the Indonesian Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, causing material and human losses. The raids also caused Beit Hanoun Hospital to stop working, and likewise the International Eye Hospital went out of service after it was directly bombed.
So far, 5 ambulance crew members have been martyred and dozens of others injured, while Israeli bombing has targeted 45 ambulance missions since the start of the battles.
Palestinians in Gaza said that the Israeli bombing was violent and made them feel as if they were living a new “catastrophe,” which brought back echoes of memories of the 1948 war , after which the establishment of Israel was declared and led to the mass displacement of Palestinians at that time.
