Israel said it is preparing a 'joint and coordinated attack from the air, sea and land' in the Gaza Strip
Israel said it is preparing a ‘joint and coordinated attack from the air, sea and land’ in the Gaza Striptold troops massed near Gaza on Saturday, as the Israeli military announced it is prepared for a “co-ordinated” air, ground and naval offensive in the Gaza Strip.
Civilians in the north of Gaza have been left with little option but to attempt a dangerous trek into the south of the small 45km² region to avoid a looming conflict – though Hamas warned them not to leave. The Palestinian Health Ministry has meanwhile accused Israel of attacking convoys of vehicles following the instruction to evacuate, killing 12 people.
“It has become a matter of life and death. It is a must; fuel needs to be delivered now into Gaza to make water available for two million people,” said Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA commissioner-general, after Gaza’s water plant and public water networks stopped working. “This is unprecedented. This war should be no exception – protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure including UN buildings applies to this conflict too,” it added.
“International humanitarian law demands civilians have access to humanitarian support. Occupying powers have a responsibility to ensure adequate provision of the survival of the civilian population. The siege must be lifted. Hostages must be released. Human lives are not bargaining chips.” The US meanwhile advised its citizens to head to near the still-closed Rafah crossing with Egypt, in the hopes that foreigners could be allowed to leave if it re-opens – but it is unlikely Palestinians will be permitted to leave en masse.
