YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAs Israel steps up its military assault on Gaza to the highest level yet, a top official said aid shipments will also pick up somewhat, helping ease the dire situation for civilians caught in its offensive and blockade.
“The next several days should see the lowest number of civilian casualties of the war,” Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer said in a telephone interview, while acknowledging that unanticipated events may affect that outlook. “We are expecting 100 trucks a day of aid starting tomorrow or Wednesday, and water is now on in the south and central parts.”
Israel has come under increasing international criticism for the toll on Gaza civilians from its campaign of airstrikes and ground raids there after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel that killed more than 1,400 people. There’s no independent count of the dead in Gaza, but the Hamas-controlled authorities put the toll at more than 8,000. United Nations officials have warned of a humanitarian catastrophe as desperate Gazans raid aid warehouses.
