Israel has announced a daily “tactical break” in Gaza and the first trucks with humanitarian help managed to enter the Palestinian territory on Sunday (27). At dawn, the Israeli army had already resumed the aerial versions of food on Gaza. The initiatives occur after weeks of international pressure to allow the arrival of food and other essential objects to the Palestinian population, threatened by hunger.
The trucks with humanitarian aid intended for the Gaza Strip crossed the terminal of the Rafah border, coming from Egypt towards the Palestinian territory.
The images of AFP showed large white trucks -Acchetti through the Egyptian side, the entrance to the Rafah terminal, which leads south of the Gaza Strip. However, the trucks do not enter directly on the Palestinian side of the terminal, which is damaged and closed due to the war. They travel a few kilometers to the Israeli passage point of Kerem Shalom, where they should undergo inspection before entering the Rafah area on the Palestinian side.
Some trucks showed the Egyptian logo Red Crescent, while others brought the flag of the United Arab Emirates, accompanied by the inscription: “United Arab Emirates – Humanitarian aid in Gaza – Water supply projects in Gaza”.
A means of communication near the Egyptian authorities, Al-Qahera News, reported that “the trucks with humanitarian aid from Egypt have reached the point of passage from Kerem Shalom”.
Also this Sunday, Jordan has announced the sending of a 60 truck truck train that transported 962 tons of food and flour, which should enter the northern strip of Gaza through the Israeli passage point of Zikim.
Tactical break
The arrival of the first trucks occurred after Israel declared a daily “tactical” break on humanitarian reasons in various areas of the Gaza Strip.
The announcement of the break and the creation of humanitarian corridors to allow the distribution of the aid was made at dawn by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel. Education attributes UNI to previous blocks.
The “tactical break” will be observed daily, from this Sunday, from 10 to 20 (local time) or from 4:00 to 14:00 Brasilia Tempo, starting from the areas of Deir Al-Balah (Center), Al-Mawasi (South) and the city of Gaza (North), where there are currently no military operations.
Food for air shipping
The army also announced the aerial release of humanitarian aid on Gaza after weeks of international pressure to allow the arrival of food and other objects essential to the territory of the territory, devastated for more than 21 months of war.
Israel, who held the Gaza track under siege since the beginning of the war against Hamas on October 7, 2023, imposed a total block in March, partially flexible at the end of May. This caused serious food deficiencies and essential goods. The United and Humanitarian Nations Organizations now warn the increase in the malnutrition of children and the risk of hunger widespread between over two million inhabitants.
At dawn, Israel released images of the release of “Seven of help lots containing flour, sugar and preserves” on Gaza. The operation was carried out “In coordination with international organizations and led by Cogat”, an agency of the Ministry of Defense, according to a declaration published on Telegram.
The United Nations and the NGOs operating in Gaza have not yet officially reacted, but humanitarian sources said they were waiting for the concrete effects of the measure on the ground.
The civil defense of Gaza announced on Saturday the death of 50 people in Israeli bombing and blows.
Intercepted boat
Saturday evening, a boat rented by the pro-Palestine movement “Flotilha da Liberdade”, which went to Gaza with help, was intercepted by the Israeli army, according to the images broadcast live by the group.
The interception was confirmed by Israel, who reported that the ship now “is safe for the Israeli coast”.
Under the pressure of countries such as France, Germany and the United Kingdom to “immediately suspend the restrictions on delivery of help”, the Israeli army announced Saturday that the aerial versions would resume that night.
This method, already used in 2024 by the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and France, has been criticized by many humanitarian guardians, who consider it dangerous and limited, noting that it does not replace the delivery of the land.
Saturday, the United Kingdom announced that it was preparing to launch air help and evacuate “children who need medical care”, in collaboration with “partner like Jordan”.
The United Arab Emirates declared that they would resume the “immediately” versions.
“New dynamics”
The head of the United Nations for the Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, said Saturday that the resumption of aerial versions is an “ineffective” response to the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe.
“Air exits will not end up increasing hunger. They are expensive, ineffective and can even kill hungry civilians,” he said.
After announcing that he will recognize the state of Palestine, the French president Emmanuel Macron said that a conference, scheduled for Monday and Tuesday at the United Nations headquarters in New York, “should open a new dynamic in favor of a fair and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, based on two states”. For Macron, this is “the only solution capable of guaranteeing peace and security for everyone in the region”.
The war was triggered by an unprecedented attack by the Islamic Hamas movement in Israel on October 7, 2023, which caused the death of 1,219, mainly civilians, according to the counting of the FP on the basis of official data. In response, Israel has released an offensive that has already caused at least 59,733 deaths in Gaza, even mainly civilians, according to the Ministry of Health of Hamas, considered reliable by the United Nations.
