00:00 Welcome back to From the South.
00:02 Human rights organizations warned on Thursday of the danger to the civilian population in
00:06 Gaza following an imminent land incursion by the Israeli occupation army.
00:11 Precisely since more than a week ago, the Sienese troops have been besieging Rafah in
00:16 the south of Gaza, where the number of killed, wounded, kidnapped and missing has increased
00:21 in the city that borders with Egypt.
00:23 In other hand, local authorities stated that the residents of the area are seeking refuge
00:28 in health centers, which at the same time have been the target of attacks by the Talib
00:33 regime.
00:34 It should be noted that although the International Court of Justice ordered Benjamin Netanyahu's
00:39 administration to prevent genocide against the Palestinian people, the occupying troops
00:43 claim that they will soon start a land incursion.
00:51 The United Nations humanitarian agency alerted on Thursday about the risk of a devastating
00:56 famine threatening Gaza on a daily basis, especially for some 300,000 people in the
01:02 north of the Strip.
01:04 In this sense, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said that the World
01:08 Food Program had warned them that the amount of humanitarian aid that the Palestinian enclave
01:13 is receiving is insufficient to prevent a famine, including, precisely, they reported
01:19 that the last time they were able to deliver food to northern Gaza was on January 23rd,
01:24 exactly 16 days ago.
01:27 On the other hand, international experts reiterate that the blockade imposed by the Tel Aviv on
01:32 humanitarian aid constitutes a war crime and adds to the accusation of genocide presented
01:38 by South Africa before the international court.
