00:00Israeli occupational forces keep on bombing the Gaza Strip amid a human

00:16journey crisis that is getting worse due to the impediments to the entry of human

00:20journey to the coastal enclave. Our colleague Huda Hegazi with the details.

00:24This weekend could be considered one of the bloodiest attempts due to the continuation

00:31of the crimes and massacres committed by the Israeli army here in the Gaza Strip. First

00:37of all, I would like to highlight the attacks that had been carried out on the northern

00:41area of the Gaza Strip, where on Friday night the occupation army committed two massacres

00:47against two families. One of them, the Al-Bab family, and the other Al-Mad family, were

00:53the total number of victims of those two attacks. Those two civilian homes have already exceeded

01:0075, and more than 100 people have been reported injured. A massacre has also been committed

01:07in the area of Beit Lahiya and near the camp of Jabali, in the northern area of the Gaza

01:13Strip, against the Al-Rash family home, where at least 40 victims of that family are reported,

01:19in addition to doses of injured people. I would also like to say that the attacks continue

01:26around the hospital of Kamala One, which is the only hospital that remains active in the

01:32northern area of the Gaza Strip. And we could say that this hospital is literally on the

01:38brink of collapse. Yesterday, on Sunday, one of the most atrocious massacres was carried

01:44out in the city of Gaza, specifically with the Al-Bab family, where the occupation army

01:50bombed their home in the area of al-Sheikh Rawan, causing the death of approximately

01:5525 Gazan families. Now, we turn the attacks carried out by the occupation army against

02:02workers of international organizations. Yesterday, the occupation army committed two attacks,

02:09one of them in the area of Salah al-Din, against a car belonging to the organization World

02:15Central Kitchen. In that car were five people, three of them workers of this organization

02:22and two civilians. It is not the first time that Israel has bombed one of the cars belonging

02:28to this organization, which is an agency in charge of distributing humanitarian aid here

02:34in the Gaza Strip, in addition to carrying out various hostages. Also, on that same day,

02:41several hours later, the Israeli army bombed another car belonging to another organization

02:55in the area of Kisan al-Nahar, to the east of the government of Ganjunis, where approximately

03:0112 Gazan families were killed, who were waiting for the collection of flour from that organization.

03:07Therefore, due to the attacks carried out by the Israeli army against these agencies

03:13and organizations that are in charge of distributing humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, yesterday

03:20the World Central Kitchen organization announced that it was going on to stop its work of distributing

03:27humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, because it was afraid that workers from that agency

03:33would bomb again. However, the cessation of this work of the organization comes in light

03:39of a great humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, in addition to a situation of famine

03:45due to the closure of the borders and because for more than two months of no food has come

03:51in, not even humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip.

03:55However, not only are these two organizations going to stop their work in the Gaza Strip,

04:01but also yesterday we were surprised by a statement made by the United Nations Agency

04:07for Palestinian Refugees, where it was reported that this agency yesterday tried to enter

04:14through the crossing of Karem Salon, at least 16 humanitarian aid trucks, but the occupation

04:20army had prevented from entering this aid, and even this organization has assured that

04:26throughout November it has been trying several times to enter aid. Still, due to the restrictions

04:34imposed by the occupation army, it has been prevented. Therefore, yesterday UNRWA announced

04:42the cessation of humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip due to the limits imposed by the

04:47occupation army. However, when UNRWA sent that statement, it showed its most sincere

04:55pain that it had to stop this work in light of the humanitarian crisis that was crossing

05:01the Gaza Strip, especially due to the famine that was taking place, but it assured that

05:06it has no other option than to stop and assure that it will try to do everything possible

05:13to get its work back as soon as possible. As we can see, Israel is doing it on purpose,

05:19that this organization and agency stop giving humanitarian aid due to the restriction at

05:25a time when the Gaza Strip needs this humanitarian aid more than ever.
