A PLACE OF DEATH AND DESPERATION.

“Gaza has become a place of death and hopelessness, where it is impossible to live.” This is the phrase uttered by the United Nations humanitarian coordinator, Martin Griffiths, in a statement; three months after the violent action by Hamas in Israeli territory.

Despite the fact that the UN Security Council adopted a resolution to allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, Israel maintains its controls and only allows small quantities to enter the enclave that are not enough to alleviate the needs of a population where hunger prevails. and the lack of medicines, among other needs.


France and Jordan jointly carried out, on Friday, an operation to drop medicine, water and food using two military transport planes. The aid drop occurred near the Jordanian hospital in Gaza, which was able to recover the parachute packages.

The Israeli bombings have caused 22,000 Palestinian deaths, according to the latest figures announced by the health authorities of the enclave, which continues to be subjected to multiple military attacks by Jewish forces.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will visit the West Bank during this week-end tour that will take in Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Israel, Jordan, Qatar, the UAE, Egypt and Greece.

“It is in no one's interest, not Israel's, not the region's, not the world's, for this conflict to spread beyond Gaza,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said. “We don't expect every conversation on this trip to be easy.”
