I get the feeling Hamas bogart the aid Gaza needs 'uninterrupted' aid — UN Palestinian refugee agency The United Nations' agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, says that continuous humanitarian assistance is needed for the Gaza Strip. UNRWA commissioner Philippe Lazzarini said that "meaningful and uninterrupted" aid was needed for the Palestinian enclave, adding that the assistance received since Saturday when aid trucks were permitted to cross into Gaza amounted to "crumbs." "The current system in place is geared to fail. What is needed is meaningful and uninterrupted aid flow. And to succeed, we need a humanitarian ceasefire to ensure this aid reaches those in need," he stressed during a press conference in Jerusalem. He confirmed that 57 of the agency's staff had been killed during Israel's war with Hamas. Lazzarini also discussed the credibility of the death toll provided by the Hamas-run health ministry in the Gaza Strip. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-aid-into-gaza-amounts-to-crumbs-un/live-67228509 |

"There have been huge rounds of outgoing tank fire from where we are," he said reporting from Sderot. "Round after round of artillery fire going into Gaza as well. Multiple impacts reported in Gaza and Gaza City." Robertson said that about an hour ago, the CNN team saw a "huge wall of smoke literally blow in off of Gaza."

That great now 4 quarter of then LA raiders game in stands at that mosque Scuffles at al-Aqsa mosque: The atmosphere near the al-Aqsa mosque is getting tense, according to a CNN team on the ground. Israeli police are strictly regulating who can enter the compound, only letting a selected few through the Lion’s Gate entrance to the site. Police were not giving any reasons for denying people access, which is creating more tension. At one point, a scuffle between worshippers and the police heated up, with officers forcefully pushing people out of the alleyway leading to the compound. The compound, frequently a flashpoint in tensions, is home to one of Islam’s most revered sites but also the holiest site in Judaism, known as the Temple Mount. The complex lies in East Jerusalem, which the Palestinians want as the capital of their future state and which most of the international community considers to be occupied territory. Israel captured it from Jordan in a 1967 war and considers both East and West Jerusalem as its united, “eternal capital.” edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-10-27-23/index.html |

Like I say CNN exclusively reporting this Israel-Hamas war rages as Gaza deaths mount A large series of explosions rocked Gaza City Friday night, according to CNN teams near the Israel and Gaza border. CNN's Nic Robertson reported hearing outgoing tank fire as well as "unusual, intense and sustained" military activity for the past couple of hours. This comes after Israeli troops conducted "targeted raids" inside Gaza for a second straight night, the Israel Defense Forces said Friday, as they prepare for the next stage of the war against Hamas. There has been "significant progress" in negotiations to release hostages held by Hamas but issues still remain, diplomatic sources familiar told CNN. A US official also said that while there has been progress, it’s “all very touch and go.” European Union leaders have stopped short of calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, instead appealing for humanitarian "pauses" to provide aid, as the UN warns its operations are being "paralyzed" by Israel’s bombardment of the enclave. A top UN official called curren Gaza residents say tonight's airstrikes are the most intense they have seen Multiple residents of Gaza tell CNN the airstrikes Friday night were the most intense they have experienced since the beginning of hostilities nearly three weeks ago. Jawwal, the Palestinian telecom company that provides mobile service to the Gaza Strip released a statement Friday night, saying "the intense bombardment in the past hour has resulted in the destruction of all remaining international routes connecting Gaza with the outside world" leading to a "complete interruption of telecommunications services." edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-10-27-23/index.html |

Here more on CNN blog US in "active conversations" with Israel about humanitarian pause to allow for hostages' release From CNN's Kevin Liptak The US has held “active conversations” with Israel about a humanitarian pause to allow for the release of hostages in Gaza, the White House said. “We absolutely believe that that if a pause can be effected to allow for the…release of hostages, then that is something we absolutely would support and we believe Israel should support it,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters. “We’ve been having active conversations with them about that,” Kirby said. He said the US would “continue to press with our partners in the region” to see the hostages released. “If that requires a localized, temporary pause to do it, then we are absolutely supportive of that. We’re in support of whatever effort can be made to get them home safely to their families,” Kirby said. Witness at hospital says Gaza is disconnected from outside world during bombardment From CNN's Kareem Khadder Gaza has been "left in the dark with no connection to the outside world," an eyewitness at the Al Aqsa Martyrs hospital in Deir al Balah tells CNN. The eyewitness says the hospital has received the bodies of multiple people killed and more wounded in the intensified bombardment of central Gaza Friday night. They added that casualties are expected to rise. Palestine Red Crescent Society says it "completely lost contact" with emergency medical teams in Gaza From CNN's Kareem Khadder The Palestine Red Crescent Society said it has "completely lost contact with the operations room in Gaza and all our teams operating there," according to a statement released Friday following a massive increase in Israeli air strikes on the enclave. “We are deeply concerned about the ability of our teams to continue providing their emergency medical services, especially since this disruption affects the central emergency number '101' and hinders the arrival of ambulance vehicles to the wounded and injured," the statement said. Earlier, Jawwal, the Palestinian telecom company that provides mobile service to the Gaza Strip also said the strikes resulted in a "complete interruption of telecommunications service,” according to a statement. Israeli military says forces are "operating forcefully" on all fronts The Israel Defense Forces' troops are "operating forcefully" on all fronts in order to fulfill its goals in the war with Hamas, and will "continue striking Gaza City and keep calling upon civilians to evacuate south," IDF spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Friday. Asked about a possible deal to release the over 200 hostages being held in Gaza, Hagari told reporters to "disregard rumors," claiming Hamas is using psychological terror. On the ground in Israel: As the IDF announced it was expanding ground operations in Gaza, sirens indicating incoming rockets sounded in the Israeli city of Ashkelon Friday night. A CNN team on the ground heard a loud boom, potentially from Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system intercepting a rocket.

With this president they didn't trust him LOL! White House won't say if Israel notified US in advance of IDF's announcement of expanded operations From CNN's Donald Judd The White House wouldn't say if Israel had informed the United States before the Israeli Defense Forces announced an expanding ground operation into Gaza on Friday. “So, I'm not going to talk about in getting into details of the conversations that we have with our Israeli counterparts and the information, the flow between us,” White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said. “I think that would be a very imprudent place for me to go. He also declined to say if the Biden administration has confidence that Israel has fully considered the ramifications of a ground operation. Kirby said he was "not going to talk about their decision-making process" or what is unfolding on the ground in Gaza. "They have to speak to that, and they have to be able to answer the questions about the soundness of their planning and the effectiveness of their execution,” he said. Still, he said the administration has asked Israel some of t What we're covering The Israel Defense Forces announced Friday it is "expanding ground operations" in the Gaza Strip and "operating forcefully" on all fronts to fulfill its goals in the war with Hamas. This comes as Gaza residents describe heavy airstrikes and as a major telecoms company says mobile phone service is completely down. A substantial ground offensive has been expected ever since the Hamas October 7 attacks, but it is not yet clear whether the IDF announcement signals the start of it. Earlier Friday, Israel’s military conducted “targeted raids” for a second night in northern Gaza, after vowing to continue ground raids over the coming days. Meanwhile, pressure is building on the international community to persuade Israel to allow desperately needed humanitarian aid into Gaza. While the initial aid deliveries have provided food, water and medicine, they have not included fuel, which the United Nations said is “paralyzing” its aid opera edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-10-27-23/index.html |

Hey Iran maybe you shouldn't encourage Hezollah or Hamas here Iran may not want a full-blown war with Israel, but it may be dragged into one Abu Dhabi, UAE CNN — A day after Palestinian militant group Hamas launched its brutal attack on Israel, a curious video emerged out of Tehran’s Azadi stadium. Hundreds of soccer fans, gathered to watch a match between Perspolis FC and Gol Gohar Sirjan FC, chanted in unison: “Shove the Palestinian flag up your a**.” The vulgar protest came in response to officials attempting to raise a Palestinian flag in the stadium to show support for the October 7 attack. But for the fans, it was another unwelcome mixing of politics and soccer, and a stark reminder of the Iranian government’s involvement in proxy battles in far-flung arenas. Hamas’ attack, which killed 1,400 people according to Israeli authorities, prompted a fierce aerial campaign on Gaza that has so far killed more than 7,000 people, according to the health ministry in Hamas-controlled Gaza. And there are now concerns that more fronts will open in the war, including one with Iran. Experts say that while Iran is wary of being dragged into the Israel-Hamas war, it may not be in full control if the militias it backs in the region independe edition.cnn.com/2023/10/27/middleeast/iran-may-not-want-full-war-israel-mime-intl/index.html |

"Last evening, the ground shook in Gaza. We attacked above ground and underground ... we attacked terror operatives of all ranks, everywhere," he said in a video statement. Gallant said operations that began overnight would continue — targeting tunnels and other infrastructure of Hamas as well as leaders of the Islamist movement, which is considered a terrorist organization by the EU, Germany, the United States and other countries. "The instructions for the forces are clear: the operation will continue until a new order." Meanwhile, Israel's military has restated a call for Palestinians to evacuate the northern Gaza Strip ahead of a full Israeli ground operation.

Yeah now Families of hostage getting tick off with Israeli govt Rightfully so I think so Families of hostages demand government explanation amid bombing The families of the Israeli hostages, taken by the Islamist Hamas militant group during the October 7 terror attack, have called on the government to give an explanation about the fate of their relatives. Their calls come amid heavy bombardment of the Gaza Strip, where it is believed the missing people are being held captive. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum said in a statement that relatives were angry over the "absolute uncertainty regarding the fate of the hostages held, who were also subject to the heavy bombings." "None of the war cabinet bothered to meet with the families to explain one thing — whether the ground operation endangers the wellbeing of the 229 hostages in Gaza," the group said. "The families are worried about the fate of their loved ones and are waiting for an explanation. Every minute feels like eternity." www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-israel-says-gaza-offensive-entered-new-phase/live-67241220 |

Well it official IDF is still in Gaza on the ground Israel says ground operations expanding in Gaza as war with Hamas rages The Israeli military says it is inside Gaza after saying Friday it would expand its ground operation following the October 7 Hamas attacks. A spokesman said “the forces are in the field and continue the fighting." A ground offensive has been widely expected following the attacks, but it does not appear as though any major operation aimed at seizing and holding significant amounts of the territory is yet underway. Gazans are taking stock after what have been described the heaviest airstrikes of the conflict so far. Video captured by CNN shows multiple bodies, including children, covered in shrouds at a hospital. Communications have been heavily disrupted. Israel reissues call for people to evacuate northern Gaza From CNN’s Jo Shelley in London The Israeli military has reiterated its call for residents in northern Gaza to evacuate. In a video posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday, Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said, "This is an urgent military advisory from the Israel Defence Forces. For your immediate safety, we urge all residents of northern Gaza and Gaza City to temporarily relocate south.” Hagari made reference to what he described as a coming IDF operation against Hamas in Gaza. “The impending IDF operation is set to neutralize the threat of Hamas with precision and intensity,” he said. “To the residents of northern Gaza and Gaza City, your window to act is closing... Move south. This is not a mere precaution, it is an urgent plea." Some background: The latest warnings from Israel came after the IDF said Friday it Health workers, patients, and civilians in Gaza spent night "in darkness and fear," says WHO From CNN’s Catherine Nicholls in London The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Saturday that health workers, patients, and civilians in Gaza spent the night “in darkness and fear,” due to a communications and electrical blackout across the Gaza strip. “During a night of intense bombardment and ground incursions in Gaza, with reports of hostilities still continuing, health workers, patients and civilians have been subject to a total communication and electrical blackout,” WHO wrote in post on X. According to WHO, hospitals across Gaza are operating at maximum capacity, unable to take in new patients whilst also “sheltering thousands of civilians.” “There are more [people] wounded every hour,” WHO said. edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-10-28-23/index.html |

Well here updates Fighting in Gaza: Israeli ground forces are inside Gaza after entering the enclave overnight from the north. Army spokesman Daniel Hagari said the Israeli military operation had undergone a significant expansion after two "targeted raids" earlier this week. Both those raids saw ground forces withdraw after a few hours. Scale unclear: A ground offensive has been widely expected following the surprise Hamas attacks, with Israel amassing thousands of troops on the border. But it does not yet appear a significant operation aimed at seizing and holding significant amounts of the territory is yet underway. Artillery strikes continue: The IDF continued to conduct heavy artillery strikes against northern Gaza on Saturday morning, with multiple explosions heard every minute. A CNN team on the ground at an Israeli checkpoint near the Gaza Strip perimeter reported intense and continuous explosions and air power. Smoke was also seen rising from the enclave. Gazans mourn: Those living inside Gaza woke up to the aftermath of intense Israeli airstrikes. Video captured by CNN shows multiple bodies, including those of children, covered in white shrouds or thick blankets, placed on the ground at a hospital. The territory is facing a humanitarian crisis, with shortages of food, water and fuel. Severed communications: Many are struggling to get in touch with people in Gaza after communications links were badly disrupted by the aerial assault. The last standing major internet operator in the region, Paltel, experienced damage to its international routes, according to NetBlocks, an internet outage monitoring firm based in London.

That suck part about this war average Gaza resident Communications blackout leaves medics struggling to reach wounded Gazans and families unable to talk From CNN’s Zahid Mahmoud and Livvy Doherty in London, and Abeer Salmaan and Kareem Khadder in Jerusalem A near total communications blackout has impacted the work of medical staff in Gaza, with paramedics unable to reach the injured and hospitals unable to contact each other. Dr. Mohamad Al-Rayan, a physician at Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza, said medics have faced delays in getting to people injured by Israeli airstrikes overnight. “Paramedics could not reach (the injured), because they had no communication with them. There were a few solutions to the problem, but the situation was very difficult and dangerous. The injured arrived at the hospital many hours later, (as) we could not reach them in a fast and direct manner,” he said. He told CNN that hospitals in Gaza had also lost contact with one another, making the transfer of patients needing specialist surgery between hospitals even harder.

THis might be regime change FINALLY Israel-Hamas war: 5 scenarios for Gaza's future Israel has mobilized around 350,000 reservists. Some of those troops are standing ready at the border of Lebanon. Others are waiting at the edge of the Gaza Strip, ready to take part in a ground offensive into the Palestinian territory. The objective of the much-discussed invasion of Gaza, in whatever form that might eventually take, is the destruction of the Hamas militant group, designated a terror organization by Germany, the European Union and the US, among others. There's no alternative to a ground offensive, said Michael Milshtein, a former member of Israel's military intelligence and now a researcher at the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University. "Hamas was always very clear in its goals — promoting jihad and erasing Israel," he told DW. Nonetheless, there is one question that keeps coming up. How would Gaza be ruled if Israel achieves its desired goal, given that Hamas currently governs the territory? The Israelis have not given any official answer to this question. It is also unclear as to whether it will be possible to eliminate Hamas completely. One thing is clear, though, according to Milshtein. A power vacuum must not be allowed to emerge. Withdrawing quickly would do that, he said, "leaving behind a vacuum which will be filled by anarchy and radical Islamist groups." www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-5-scenarios-for-gazas-future/a-67235476 |

Meanwhile, families of hostages have demanded answers from the Israeli government about the fate of their loved ones. DW has the latest. Israel says military moving to the next stage of war Israel's military is moving to a new phase of its war with Hamas in Gaza, said military Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, as ground forces continued operations in the bombarded Palestinian enclave. "This war has stages and today we are moving to the next stage. Our forces are currently operating on the ground in the Gaza Strip," Halevi said in a televised message. According to Halevi, there is no way to destroy the enemy without entering its own territory. He added that hundreds of Hamas militants have been killed, and their infrastructure has been destroyed. Meanwhile, the Israeli army warned residents of Gaza City that the area was now a "battlefield," as it stepped up its air campaign against Hamas militants in the Palestinian territory. "To the residents of the Gaza Strip: The Gaza governorate (Gaza City) has become a battlefield. Shelters in northern Gaza and Gaza governorate are not safe," the army said in leaflets dropped by fighter jets, as it urged residents to "evacuate immediately" to the south. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-israel-says-gaza-offensive-entered-new-phase/live-67241220 |

OH MAN now Hamas getting little greedy here Hamas says Israel must free its prisoners in exchange for hostages Hamas's armed wing said it was ready to release the hostages it abducted during its shock attack on October 7 if Israel freed all Palestinians held in its prisons. Some 200 hostages are currently being held by militants in the Gaza Strip, according to the Israeli army. "The price to pay for the large number of enemy hostages in our hands is to empty the [Israeli] prisons of all Palestinian prisoners," Ezzedine Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obeida said in a statement broadcast by the Hamas-run Al-Aqsa television channel. Obeida also said Hamas was about to reach an agreement with Israel over the hostages held by the Palestinian militant faction but Israel had "stalled" on that possibility. Meanwhile, the Israeli armed forces chief Herzi Halevi has said the military will do "everything" they can to recover hostages. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-israel-says-gaza-offensive-entered-new-phase/live-67241220#:~:text=22%20minutes%20ago-,Hamas%20says%20Israel%20must%20free%20its%20prisoners%20in%20exchange%20for%20hostages,said%20the%20military%20will%20do%20%22everything%22%20they%C2%A0can%C2%A0to%20recover%20hostages.,-Released%20Israeli%20hostage |

DUDE blame Egypt hello they don't want refugees DUH! Egypt says 'Israeli obstacles' impeding aid delivery to Gaza Egypt's Foreign Ministry has said that "Israeli obstacles" including truck inspection procedures were impeding the prompt delivery of aid to the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing between Egypt and the Palestinian enclave. "The trucks must be inspected at the Israeli Nitzana crossing before they head to the Rafah crossing on a journey that takes a distance of 100 kilometers (62 miles) before they actually enter the Rafah crossing, which causes obstacles that significantly delay the arrival of aid," a ministry spokesperson said in a statement. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-israel-says-gaza-offensive-entered-new-phase/live-67241220 |

Yes there been protest in last couple hrs especially in Europe Israel Hamas war: UN warns Gaza ground offensive will cause even 'more pain' as death toll climbs Israeli army warns that Gaza City region is now 'a battlefield' The Israeli army warned on Saturday that it now considers Gaza City and its region a "battlefield" and once again ordered residents to "leave immediately" towards the south. “The Gaza governorate has become a battlefield. The places of shelter and the entire governorate are not safe". Leaflets that the Israeli army claims to have dropped in the Palestinian territory read: “You must leave immediately towards the areas south of Wadi Gaza”, referring to the river which crosses the territory from east to west. UN chief 'surprised' by Israel's 'unprecedented' bombardment of Gaza UN Secretary-General António Guterres says he was surprised by Israel’s massive overnight airstrikes on Gaza amid a communication blackout across the besieged strip. Writing Saturday on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, Guterres said he previously had felt encouraged by an apparent growing consensus on the need for a humanitarian cease-fire. “Regrettably, instead I was surprised by an unprecedented escalation of bombardments, undermining humanitarian objectives. This situation must be reversed,” he said. Guterres called President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi of Egypt on Saturday, and the two discussed ongoing diplomatic efforts to deescalate the war between Israel and Hamas, the Egyptian presidency said in a statement. EU diplomacy chief calls for ‘pause in hostilities’ The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, has called for a "pause in hostilities" to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, hit by intense Israeli bombardments. “Gaza is completely without power and completely isolated as intense b www.euronews.com/2023/10/28/israel-hamas-war-gaza-communications-knocked-out-as-strikes-intensify-calls-for-ceasefire- |

Yes people are not happy with Israel YADA YADA Global protests calling for an end to the war ramp up Thousands of protesters across the globe have been demanding an end to the ongoing conflict. In New York City, hundreds of protesters in black T-shirts filled the city’s iconic Grand Central Terminal during the evening rush hour on Friday to demand a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war. Many of the protesters were detained by police and taken out of the station, their hands zip tied behind their backs. The NYPD could not immediately say how many were taken into custody. Inside the main concourse, protesters wore shirts that read “cease-fire now” and “not in our name” chanted, with some holding banners in front of the list of departure times. www.euronews.com/2023/10/28/israel-hamas-war-gaza-communications-knocked-out-as-strikes-intensify-calls-for-ceasefire- |

See what I mean I post on Christian chat they hoarding the fuel supplies to Gaza Hamas is Hamas 'is hoarding fuel supplies sent to help the Palestinians'... with terror group thought to be using it to power its underground tunnel network Terror group Hamas feared to be hoarding fuel supplies meant for Palenstins Hamas is feared to be using fuel intended to help the humanitarian effort in Gaza to power its underground tunnel network. The Israel Defence Forces have published aerial imagery supposedly showing Hamas storage tanks containing 'more than 500,000 litres of fuel'. Military experts are concerned that the terror group has begun exploiting the crisis response to Israeli airstrikes by seizing critical fuel supplies. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12682107/Hamas-hoarding-fuel-supplies-Palestinians-power-underground-tunnel-network.html |

Hamas says the death toll has now surpassed 8,000 and is reporting that a 'large number' of people were killed in strikes on two refugee camps, as pictures show fireballs rising over Gaza City and devastation in areas of central and southern Gaza www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12684991/Gazans-told-south-Israeli-airplanes-pounded-450-Hamas-sites-blitz-ahead-ground-invasion-IDF-prepares-brutal-guerilla-fighting-terrorists-inside-civilian-areas-start-long-war.html |

I am not suprise people are desperate Israel-Hamas war: Thousands raid Gaza aid centers, UN says Published 17 hours agoPublished 17 hours agolast updated 6 minutes agolast updated 6 minutes ago The UN Palestinian refugee agency has said the looting was a "worrying sign that civil order is starting to break down." Meanwhile, the top Red Cross official has decried humanitarian conditions in Gaza. DW has more. Israeli military operations in Gaza 'only at the start,' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says The UN agency for Palestinian refugees says thousands of people have broken into its Gaza aid centers Phone and internet connectivity is gradually returning to Gaza following Israeli airstrikes International Committee of the Red Cross condemns 'intolerable level' of suffering in Gaza US says burden on Israel to avoid civilian deaths The White House has said Israel must protect innocent Gaza residents by distinguishing between Hamas militants and civilians in the Palestinian territory. The warning came ahead of a call between President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel's Western allies have urged the country to avoid civilian casualties in Gaza, where health officials in the Hamas-run territory say more than 8,000 people have already died in three weeks of airstrikes. Sullivan said Israel had a "responsibility under international humanitarian law to distinguish between terrorists and civilians and to protect the lives of innocent people, and that is the overwhelming majority of the people in Gaza." "We do believe that thousands of Palestinian civilians have been killed in this bombardment, and every single one of those deaths is a tragedy," as those in Israel are, Sullivan said, speaking to the broadcaster ABC. "What we believe is that every hour, every day of this military operation, the IDF, the Israeli government, should be taking every possible means available to them to distinguish between Hamas — terrorists who are legitimate military targets — and civilians who are not." www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-thousands-break-into-gaza-aid-centers-un-says/live-67246307 |

They getting desperate in hospitals WHO leader says hospital warning 'concerning' The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has said reports that the Palestinian Red Crescent had received warnings from Israeli authorities to immediately evacuate the Al-Quds hospital in the Gaza Strip were "deeply concerning." "The Palestinian Red Crescent report of evacuation threats to Al-Quds hospital in Gaza is deeply concerning," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote on social media platform X. "We reiterate — it's impossible to evacuate hospitals full of patients without endangering their lives." www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-thousands-break-into-gaza-aid-centers-un-says/live-67246307 |

You better do it soon Israel Israel to allow more aid into Gaza in the coming weeks The Israeli government organization responsible for coordination in the region, said that there would be a significant increase in the amount of humanitarian aid entering Gaza in the coming weeks. Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) civil department head Elad Goren told journalists that aid deliveries would be "dramatically increased" in the weeks ahead at the request of the United States. Israel effectively sealed off the Palestinian territory and began bombarding Hamas targets after the militant group launched a cross-border terror attack on October 7. The first aid convoys were allowed to begin entering Gaza at the Rafah border crossing with Egypt last week. Fuel has been in short supply and has led to warnings from humanitarian groups, including the UN's refugee agency, that operations could grind to a halt. Israel's military contends that Hamas has hoarded fuel and should ultimately be held responsible for not distributing it throughout the territory. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-thousands-break-into-gaza-aid-centers-un-says/live-67246307 |

Memo to Hamas how about give up fuel for average Gaza Joe MO UN chief says Gaza situation 'rapidly deteriorating' United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned that the humanitarian situation in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip is declining rapidly. The UN chief repeated his appeal for a cease-fire to end the "nightmare" of bloodshed. "The situation in Gaza is growing more desperate by the hour. I regret that instead of a critically needed humanitarian pause, supported by the international community, Israel has intensified its military operations," Guterres said on a visit to the Nepalese capital, Kathmandu. "The number of civilians who have been killed and injured is totally unacceptable." Israel's military announced over the weekend it was entering "stage two" of the war with Hamas, stepping up its ground operation in Gaza. Israel has carried out airstrikes on the territory following an unprecedented attack staged by Hamas militants on October 7. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-thousands-break-into-gaza-aid-centers-un-says/live-67246307 |
