Gaza: a first humanitarian ship has arrived

(Franceinfo)

Friday March 15, a ship chartered by a Spanish NGO arrived off the coast of Gaza, with 200 tons of food on board. A six-week truce is reportedly under negotiation.

Off the coast of the Gaza Strip (Palestine), the first humanitarian aid ship has arrived. A boat chartered by a Spanish NGO. On board, 200 tons of food. The arrival is supervised by the Israeli army. A pier was built to allow the delivery of this aid, eagerly awaited by the displaced Palestinians. Because the daily airdrops of food packages would only cover one percent of the population’s needs, or more than 2 million people. As for the trucks coming from Egypt, there are too few of them. Israel only allows a few crossings per day. During an aid distribution, a new incident reportedly took place around a convoy in Gaza. Around twenty people are said to have died after exchanges of fire, with both sides accusing each other of being at the origin.

Towards a new truce between Israel and Hamas?

No images, but the injured were treated at Al-Shifa hospital. A Palestinian doctor testifies: “People are injured in several places on their bodies, we have gunshot wounds”. Despite calls from the international community for a ceasefire, the Israeli army continues to bomb the towns of Rafah and Khan Younes. The land offensive also continues. Benjamin Netanyahu once again brought together his war cabinet. In particular, there was talk of a new six-week truce with Hamas and an exchange of Palestinian prisoners for Israeli hostages. A truce that was hoped for before the first big prayer of Ramadan. On the mosque plaza in Jerusalem (Israel), no incidents have been reported.
