In the Gaza Strip, where fighting between Israel and the Islamic organization Hamas continues, heavy airstrikes by the Israeli military in the southern and central areas resulted in casualties on the 9th, as well as another accident in which residents were injured by aid supplies dropped from the air. The challenge is how to safely deliver supplies and improve the humanitarian situation.
Man: ``This is the third time I've had my place destroyed.''
The Israeli military continued to carry out airstrikes in various parts of the Gaza Strip on the 9th, including an airstrike on an apartment complex in Rafah in the south, where nearly 1.5 million people, including evacuees, have taken refuge. Now you can see that one side of the building has been completely destroyed, leaving a pile of rubble.
Hundreds of families who had evacuated were forced to evacuate even though they had been warned of the attack in advance, and one man said, ``I have already lost my place twice in Khan Younis, and now I have no place to live.'' This is the third time it has been destroyed,'' he said, sounding exhausted.
Local media also reported air strikes on refugee camps in the central region, killing at least 10 people.
Health authorities in the Gaza Strip have announced that 30,960 people have died so far.
Five people were killed in the Gaza Strip on the 8th when they were hit by relief supplies dropped from the air, and multiple people were injured on the 9th when the supplies were dropped, Middle Eastern satellite television station Al Jazeera reported. .
