Pope demands ‘collective punishment’ end in Gaza as 10 more die of hunger | Gaza

Health authorities in Gaza said on Wednesday that ten Palestinians, including two children, have died of hunger in the last 24 hours.

At least 313 people, including 119 children, died of hunger because the war in Gaza began and Israel intensified the siege of Palestinian territory. Last week, a non -back tracking organ confirmed that Gaza was in the famine throat and warned that increasing number of people would lose access to food without further help.

While human conditions continued to deteriorate, the Pope asked for hostility to be suspended.

Orum I beg for a permanent ceasefire, and begging for the safe entry of humanitarian aid to be facilitated and to be fully respected of humanitarian law, ”Leo said. He referred to the international law and ı the prohibition of collective punishment, the use of random force and the forced displacement of the population ”.

The Pope was interrupted twice with applause for calling a cease -fire in front of thousands of people in the Vatican Auditorium.

On Wednesday, the president of Save The Children said that hunger in Gaza was so weak and even crying. “When there is not enough food, the children get acutely malnumited and then die slowly and painfully. This is a simple famine, Inger Ashing said to the UN Security Council in New York.

The body first explained what happened when the children died of hunger because they consume their own fat and then consume their own muscles and life organs. Ashing said, “Nevertheless, our clinics are almost quiet.

“Everyone in this room has a legal and moral responsibility to take action to stop this savagery.“

Despite the cease -fire calls, Israeli tanks entered the skirts of the city of Gaza overnight, destroyed the houses and dislocated the residents. While the Israeli forces tried to clean a road to Gaza before an expected attack, the tanks crustped the Ebad Al-Rahman neighborhood on the northern skirts of the city and caused injuries.

Gaza Health officials said that Israel’s strikes and fires have killed at least 76 people throughout Gaza in the last 24 hours.

The Israeli Army said it was active in Jabaliya and the outskirts of the City of Gaza to “dismantle terror infrastructure areas and eliminate terrorists”. He claimed that the militias killed Mahmud Al-Aswad, a senior HAMAS member who was the Head of Intelligence for Western Gaza.

Israel, the city of Hamas as the last castle in the lane, a ceasefire, whether it was reached, regardless of whether it is reached, Gaza City will start a new attack, he said.

As the Palestinians fled other regions, the city became intensely populated during the war. Gaza City now holds about 1 million people – half of the lane population – which Israel will be ordered to leave.

Humanitarian helpers warned that this mass forced displacement will not only worse against international law, but also to worse the gloomy human conditions in Gaza.

Israel, an Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraeee on Wednesday, “the City of Gaza is inevitable,” he said. Israel has already asked humanitarian aid in the north and south of Gaza to prepare human influx and said that an increasing number of tents have been sent to the region.

Adraeee, “Before moving on to the next stage in the war, just as in the central camps and Al-Mawasi, I want to confirm that there are large free spaces in the southern lane. These areas do not include tents,” he said.

Thousands of inhabitants of the Gaza city have already escaped from the Israeli bombing. However, the local church leaders said that they would not leave and that people who take refuge in churches are insufficient to move and be displaced and would be a “death penalty”.

“Therefore, clergy and nuns decided to continue and look at everyone in the compounds, Greek Greek Orthodox Patriarch and the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem said in a joint statement.

The Israeli army has regularly published evacuation orders in Gaza for the last 22 months and most of the population was displaced several times. In June, the UN said that more than 80% of Gaza was identified as an Israeli military zone, or that it was subject to displacement orders.

It has caused the spread of the disease by worsening the health and sanitary conditions that continue to be displaced.

Israel has not yet responded to the US -backed ceasefire proposal that Hamas adopted last week. The proposal is reported to be almost the same as a previous proposal that Israel has accepted before.

An Israeli Security Cabinet meeting was held on Tuesday night without discussing the cease -fire offer. The Israeli media claimed that the Benjamin Netanyahu government was no longer interested in the ceasefire, and that he wanted a comprehensive end to the war, including all the hostages and the departure of Hamas from Gaza.

Qatar, one of the mediators for cease -fire talks, said on Tuesday that Israel does not “want to reach an agreement.”

Donald Trump was reportedly planned to have a meeting to discuss Gaza’s post -war future at the White House on Wednesday. Special ambassador Steve Witkoff said Washington expects the war in Gaza to be solved by the end of the year.

Witkoff told FOX News on Tuesday that the White House meeting would argue a “very comprehensive plan we’ve brought together the next day”.

The US State Department said Foreign Minister Marco Rubio will meet with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar in Washington.

According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, the war in Gaza killed at least 62,895 Palestinians in the last 22 months. Israel launched its war after militants led by Hamas killed about 1,200 people on October 7, 2023.
