Two “major airstrikes” hit the Gaza Strip this Saturday morning (21), after 20 trucks with humanitarian aid were allowed to enter Palestinian territory. One of them took place in Rafah, targeting the Department of Civil Defense, which will make rescuing people from the rubble even more difficult. The information comes from the broadcaster Al Jazeera.
In Gaza City, in an area known as Al-Saraya, the site of an annual book fair was completely destroyed, leaving many injured in neighboring homes. Palestinians report that there is nowhere safe for them to flee at this time.
The Rafah border crossing, which connects Egypt to the Gaza Strip, was closed this Saturday (21) on both sides by the authorities that administer the site, after the 20 trucks that took humanitarian aid to hospitals in the region completed transport. According to the president of the North Sinai Red Crescent, Khaled Said, to the EFE agency, it is currently unknown when the crossing will reopen.
Said emphasized that the supplies delivered to the Palestinian side of Rafah are “just medical aid”, that none of the shipments included fuel, and that it is not known when a new aid delivery to the Palestinian enclave will be made and how many trucks will be able to enter. He stated that “there is no information about the departure of foreign citizens from Gaza” and that “nothing is known yet” about when and how this might occur.
The war between Israel and Hamas terrorists, which began on October 7, reaches its fourteenth day with a death toll of 5,785, according to data released by each side in the conflict.
In Israel, 1,400 people were murdered during the surprise attack carried out by Islamic extremists on the 7th. The Gaza Ministry of Health, controlled by Hamas, states that 4,385 people died as a result of the confrontation.
