Middle East crisis live: 20 killed in Gaza overnight with strike on ‘humanitarian zone’ among deadly attacks

Bu içerikte, İsrail’in Gazze üzerine gece yarısı gerçekleştirdiği hava saldırılarında en az 20 kişinin öldüğü ve Filistinli sağlık görevlilerinin söylediği belirtilmektedir. Bir hava saldırısının, daha önce hedef alınan ve aşırı kalabalık olduğu bildirilen al-Mawasi’nin “insani bölgesi”ne isabet ettiği ve sekiz kişinin öldüğü belirtilmektedir. Ayrıca, İsrail’in Kuzey Gazze’ye son 10 haftada izin verilen 34 tır yiyecek ve suyun sadece 12’sinin aç ve susuz kalan Filistinli sivillere ulaşabildiği belirtilmektedir. Oxfam’ın, İsrail’in sivilleri açlığa mahkum ettiği ve savaş silahı olarak açlığı “acımasızca” kullandığı yönündeki açıklamalarına da yer verilmektedir. Gece yarısı gerçekleşen İsrail bombardımanı sonucunda, Orta Gazze Şeridi’ndeki al-Nuseirat mülteci kampında dört kişinin öldüğü ve İsrail kuvvetlerinin kampta yerinden edilmiş siviller için bir sığınak çevresini sardığı bildirilmektedir. Al Jazeera’dan bir rapora da atıfta bulunulmaktadır. The content discusses the recent Israeli airstrikes on Gaza that resulted in the death of at least 20 people, according to Palestinian medics. The airstrikes targeted various areas, including a tent camp in the “humanitarian zone” of al-Mawasi. The camp has been previously hit by Israeli attacks and is said to be overcrowded. The majority of casualties from these airstrikes are being taken to hospitals for treatment, adding to the strain on the healthcare system. Bu içerikte, Güney Gazze Şeridi’ndeki Han Yunus şehrindeki Nasser hastanesine göre, hava saldırısında iki çocuk da dahil olmak üzere sekiz kişi öldü. Gazeteci, resmi temsilciler ve bireyler tarafından paylaşılan en son görüntüler de içeriğin parçası olarak sunulmaktadır. Ayrıca, İran Dışişleri Bakanlığı Sözcüsü Esmaeil Baqaei’nin Suriye’ye yönelik açıklamaları ve Ürdün Dışişleri Bakanı Ayman Safadi’nin Suriye lideri Ahmed al-Sharaa ile yaptığı görüşmeye dair bilgiler de içeriğin bir parçasını oluşturmaktadır. Her bir konuya dair detaylar ve görseller içeriğin zenginliğini artırmaktadır. The article discusses the situation in Gaza, where Oxfam has reported that Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war. Only a fraction of the food and water intended for starving Palestinian civilians in north Gaza has been able to reach them due to deliberate delays and obstructions by the Israeli military. Oxfam highlights the dire conditions in Gaza, with people trapped and unable to find safety, facing the biting cold of winter without food or shelter. The article also mentions the warning from the Famine Review Committee about the imminent famine in northern Gaza. Additionally, it mentions that the Israeli parliament passed a law in late October banning the UN aid agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, from operating in the country. This content discusses the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with UN agency Unrwa warning that new laws will disrupt the supply chain of aid to the region, leading to widespread shortages of food, medicine, and clean water. The agency has been struggling to provide adequate aid to the nearly 2 million Palestinians displaced by Israel’s war, with many facing harsh winter conditions without proper shelter or supplies. Reports of deadly Israeli airstrikes on the al-Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza further highlight the urgent need for humanitarian assistance in the region. This article covers the report of Israel ordering the closure of one of the last functioning hospitals in northern Gaza, the Kamal Adwan hospital. The hospital director stated that evacuating patients, including babies in the neonatal unit, was next to impossible due to lack of ambulances and equipment. The hospital has been under repeated attack, and the closure order poses a threat to the lives of civilians inside. The article also mentions other recent developments in the Middle East, including Israeli attacks in Gaza, UN agency reports, and diplomatic meetings in Syria.

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza kill at least 20 people overnight, Palestinian medics say

Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip overnight killed at least 20 people, Palestinian medics have said. One of the airstrikes hit a tent camp in the so-called “humanitarian zone” of al-Mawasi which has been targeted by deadly Israeli airstrikes before and is reportedly overcrowded. The airstrike killed eight people, including two children, according to Nasser hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis, which received the bodies.

Key events

Lebanon’s caretaker prime minister, Najib Mikati, has begun a tour of military positions in the country’s south, almost a month after a ceasefire deal that ended Israel’s assault on the country.

The truce came into effect on 27 November and prohibits Israel from conducting offensive military operations in Lebanon, while requiring Lebanon to prevent armed groups including Hezbollah from launching attacks on Israel. It gives Israeli troops 60 days to withdraw from south Lebanon.

Mikati’s tour comes after the Lebanese government expressed its frustration over ongoing Israeli strikes and overflights in the country.

“We have many tasks ahead of us, the most important being the enemy’s (Israel’s) withdrawal from all the lands it encroached on during its recent aggression,” he said after meeting with army chief Joseph Aoun in a Lebanese military barracks in the southeastern town of Marjayoun. “Then the army can carry out its tasks in full.”

Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has just said in a weekly press briefing: “Our principled position on Syria is very clear: preserving the sovereignty and integrity of Syria and for the people of Syria to decide on its future without destructive foreign interference.”

He added that the country should not “become a haven for terrorism”, saying such an outcome would have “repercussions” for countries in the region.

Iran spent billions of dollars propping up Assad during the war and deployed its Revolutionary Guards to Syria to keep its ally in power. Hours after Assad’s fall in early December, Iran said it expected relations with Damascus to continue based on the two countries’ “far-sighted and wise approach” and called for the establishment of an inclusive government representing all segments of Syrian society.

As we mentioned in the opening summary, Jordan’s foreign minister Ayman Safadi is meeting with Syria’s new leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, in Damascus today. We now have some pictures of his diplomatic visit to the Syrian capital.

Jordan, which borders Syria to the south, hosted a summit earlier this month where top Arab, Turkish, EU and US diplomats called for an inclusive and peaceful transition after years of civil war.

Sharaa, whose Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) spearheaded the offensive that toppled Bashar-al Assad on 8 December, has welcomed senior officials from a host of countries in the Middle East and beyond in recent days.

Jordanian government spokesperson Mohamed Momani told reporters yesterday that Amman “sides with the will of the brotherly Syrian people”, stressing the close ties between the two nations.

Momani said the kingdom would like to see security restored in Syria and supported “the unity of its territories”, adding that stability there would “ensure security on its borders”. Some Syrians who had fled the war since 2011 and sought refuge in Jordan have begun returning home (according to the UN, 680,000 Syrian refugees were registered with it in Jordan).

Israel ‘relentlessly’ using starvation as a ‘weapon of war’ in Gaza, Oxfam says

Only 12 out of the 34 trucks of food and water allowed to enter north Gaza over the last 10 weeks have managed to distribute aid to starving Palestinian civilians because of “deliberate delays and systematic obstructions” by the Israeli military, Oxfam has said.

“For three of these, once the food and water had been delivered to the school where people were sheltering, it was then cleared and shelled within hours,” Oxfam wrote in a press release.

Oxfam is among the many charities that have said that Israel has prevented them from delivering aid to north Gaza since early October, when the military launched a renewed assault on Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun, claiming they were trying to stop Hamas fighters regrouping there.

When any trickle of aid is delivered (which includes ready-to-eat rations, wheat flour, water etc) , the civilians collecting it in north Gaza are at risk of being killed by Israeli airstrikes, which have hit schools-turned-shelters, refugee camps and hospitals. Oxfam says that about 130,000 people have now been forcibly displaced from the north Gaza governorate, with roughly 70% – 91,000 – being women and girls, who are trying to survive in abandoned buildings and overcrowded shelters in Gaza City.

Sally Abi-Khalil, Oxfam’s Middle East and North Africa director, said:

The situation in Gaza is apocalyptic and people are trapped, unable to find any kind of safety. The absolute desperation of having no food or shelter for your family in the biting cold of winter. It is abhorrent that despite international law being so publicly violated by Israel and starvation being used relentlessly as a weapon of war, world leaders continue to do nothing.

Gaza has been widely destroyed and the entire population is suffering. The public sector has collapsed and the humanitarian system is on its knees. We plead with the entire international community – stop this, now. You have the diplomatic and economic levers to make Israel stop. Every day that passes without a ceasefire is a death sentence for hundreds more civilians.

Last month, the independent Famine Review Committee (FRC), a committee of global food security experts, warned in a rare alert that there is a “strong likelihood that famine is imminent in areas” of the northern Gaza Strip. The FRC said it could be “assumed that starvation, malnutrition, and excess mortality due to malnutrition and disease, are rapidly increasing” in north Gaza. “Famine thresholds may have already been crossed or else will be in the near future,” the global hunger monitor said.

The Israeli parliament decided in late October to pass a law banning the UN aid agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, from operating in the country. Unrwa said the new laws – due to come into effect within the next month – will cause the supply chain of aid to Gaza to “fall apart”, excepting an already dire humanitarian crisis, with widespread shortages of food, medicine and clean water across the Strip.

The UN agency for Palestinian Refugees, Unrwa, has been planning all year for winter in Gaza, but the aid it was able to get into the territory is “not even close to being enough for people,” Louise Wateridge, an agency spokesperson, said as many of the near 2 million Palestinians displaced by Israel’s war struggle to protect themselves from the wind, cold and rain.

Unrwa distributed 6,000 tents over the past four weeks in northern Gaza but was unable to get them to other parts of the Strip, including areas where there has been fighting. About 22,000 tents have been stuck in Jordan and 600,000 blankets and 33 truckloads of mattresses have been sitting in Egypt since the summer because the agency doesn’t have Israeli approval or a safe route to bring them into Gaza and because it had to prioritise desperately needed food aid, Wateridge said.

Many of the mattresses and blankets have since been looted or destroyed by the weather and rodents, she said.

The International Rescue Committee is struggling to bring in children’s winter clothing because there “are a lot of approvals to get from relevant authorities,” Dionne Wong, the organisation’s deputy director of programs for the occupied Palestinian territories, said.

“The ability for Palestinians to prepare for winter is essentially very limited,” she added.

Reports of deadly Israeli airstrikes on al-Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza

As we mentioned in the opening summary, there have been reports this morning of deadly Israeli bombing on the al-Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. Four people were reportedly killed in an Israeli attack on an area north of the camp. Here is a report from Al Jazeera, which says Israeli forces have surrounded a shelter in the camp for displaced civilians:

In the early hours of this morning, Israeli quadcopters and forces in armoured vehicles surrounded a school in the Nuseirat refugee camp that was filled with displaced civilians, impeding movement and preventing people from leaving the building.

They kept intermittently shooting using the quadcopters and heavy artillery. One person has already been killed there.

And just as a reminder, the vast majority of the displaced population is made up of civilians – women and children. They also make up the majority of casualties arriving at the hospitals.

Israel reportedly orders closure of one of the last functioning hospitals in northern Gaza

Hello, and welcome to the Guardian’s live coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza and developments in the Middle East more widely.

Israel late last night reportedly ordered the closure and evacuation of one of the last hospitals still partly functioning in northern Gaza.

The head of the Kamal Adwan hospital, Husam Abu Safiya, told Reuters that obeying the order to shut down was “next to impossible” because there were not enough ambulances to get patients out.

He said:

We currently have nearly 400 civilians inside the hospital, including babies in the neonatal unit, whose lives depend on oxygen and incubators. We cannot evacuate these patients safely without assistance, equipment, and time.

We are sending this message under heavy bombardment and direct targeting of the fuel tanks, which if hit will cause a large explosion and mass casualties of the civilians inside.

Abu Safiya said the military had ordered patients and staff to be evacuated to another hospital where conditions are even worse. An IDF spokesperson told the Washington Post forces had not conveyed any evacuation warnings to the hospital this weekend. The Israeli military said that on Friday it had sent fuel and food to the hospital and helped evacuate more than 100 patients and caregivers to other Gaza hospitals.

Gaza’s health ministry has said the three main hospitals in northern Gaza – of which Kamal Adwan is one – are barely functioning and have been under repeated attack since Israel sent tanks into Beit Lahiya and nearby Beit Hanoun and Jabalia in October. The Israeli military claims the aim of the renewed assault on the north is to prevent Hamas fighters from regrouping there. But the IDF has attacked hospitals and shelters, with many civilians being killed by Israeli forces amid relentless attacks.

In other developments:

Israeli forces have carried out three consecutive attacks overnight on the Gaza Strip, killing at least 11 Palestinians, according to Al Jazeera, which said the military killed four people in two separate air raids in the so-called designated “safe zone” of al-Mawasi. Palestinian news agency Wafa is reporting that four Palestinian people were killed and three others injured after Israel bombed the new camp area northwest of the al-Nuseirat refugee camp.
The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa), Phillipe Lazzarani, said there has been in “escalation” in attacks over the past day, with more civlians reported killed and injured. In a post on X, he wrote: “Attacks on schools and hospitals have been commonplace. The world must not become numb.”
Jordan’s foreign minister Ayman Safadi is due to meet with Syria’s new leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, and “several Syrian officials”, later today in Damascus, Jordan’s foreign ministry said. Al-Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Golani, led the Sunni Islamist rebels who swept into the Syrian capital earlier this month and forced Bashar-al Assad from power.
