Saturday, January 4, 2025 - At least 150 people have been killed in two days of intense air strikes on Gaza on Thursday and Friday December 3.
This comes as Israel continues its war on Hamas while still negotiating
for a ceasefire and hostage release with the militant group.
As talks resume in Qatar, senior Hamas official Basem Naim said the
Palestinian group is serious about a ceasefire deal, the withdrawal of Israeli
forces from Gaza, and returning the enclave’s population to their homes.
Also Israel’s war on Hamas has resulted in the near total
destruction of the health sector.
The destruction of the health system in northern Gaza will be
total if Israel is permitted to evacuate the last two remaining operational
medical centres, Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) said.
In a statement on social media, the group said that if the Indonesian
Hospital and al-Awda Hospital are forced to closed by Israel’s military, “there
will be no medical centres left in northern Gaza”.
“Israel is persistently destroying civilian infrastructure across the
region and forcibly displacing the entire Palestinian population in violation
of international law,” PHRI said.
“We call on all international actors to intervene immediately and halt
Israel’s ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza,” it added
UN human rights chief, Volker Turk said the world body has recorded 136
Israeli attacks on 27 health facilities in Gaza, causing “significant death and
destruction”.
Also, Human Rights group, Amnesty International said Israel’s detention
of Kamal Adwan Hospital director Dr Hussam Abu Safia is emblematic of the
“genocidal intent” in Israel’s broader attempts to “annihilate” Gaza’s
healthcare sector.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 45,658 Palestinians and
wounded 108,583 since October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in
Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day and more than 200 were taken
captive.
