Gaza/Tel Aviv: Israeli tanks advanced through the town of Khan Younis, which was destroyed by airstrikes. With this, the number of dead in the Gaza attack has crossed 18,000. More than half a lakh people were injured. Voluntary organizations also said that if the sanctions are not eased, starvation deaths in Gaza are not far away. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has suggested that Hamas should lay down its arms and surrender if the war is to end.
Khan Yunis is the second largest city in Gaza. The advance of the tanks was from the east. The army entered the town after taking control of nearby villages. The advance was made by demolishing buildings that were partially destroyed in the air raids. The Israeli army distributed leaflets yesterday morning asking them to leave the town before the tanks entered. International media reported that thousands of people are still trapped in Khan Younis.
Juliet Touma, director of the UN’s Palestine Refugee Agency, said that it is not even possible to deliver essential goods to the victims of Gaza. Even the storage facilities of the UN have been damaged by the attack. Due to hunger, people are seizing trucks with essential items and taking their contents. She said that the people are fighting to survive hunger while traveling to save their lives.
The UN meets today on the Gaza conflict. The General Assembly will discuss. The meeting will also discuss the demand for ceasefire.
