Israeli troops killed 19 Gazatis this Sundaybyfiring at a group of  people waiting for trucks to arrive, 17 of whom were killed in northern Gazatis and two others in Rafah, near distribution points.

Such deadly events are repeated every day, as organizations such as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) distribute food in highly restricted militarized areas, with Israeli troops stationed just two kilometres away, and, according to a recent study by the Israeli media in Haaretz, they have the opportunity to fire at the Palestinians in order to disperse the population.

In this context, more than 900 people have died while trying to obtain food in Gaza, most of them in areas where the private organization GHF operates, to prevent routine humanitarian operations led by the United Nations.

El azote de la ofensiva israelí en Gaza ha sacudido todos y cada uno de los cimientos del enclave. Israel ha arrasado ciudades y familias enteras, colegios y universidades, mezquitas y hospitales.

Forced evacuation order to the southwest of the city

The Israeli Army has ordered forced evacuation on Sunday as part of its first ground operation in the Gazatí city of Deir al-Bala, in the centre of the Palestinian enclave.

The evacuation order affects nine sectors in the south-west of the city and divides the coast of the Gaza Strip into twoareas where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are protected.

Since its inception, the United Nations and NGOs have denounced these orders as a forced displacement of citizens contrary to international law and a danger to the Gazatis. Nor has the so-called "safe zone" off the coast of Al Mauasi been excluded from Israeli bombings.
