Israeli onslaught on Gaza

More than five months into the Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, the regime’s incessant airstrikes and shelling keep claiming innocent lives in the besieged territory. According to the Gaza health ministry, over 80 people were killed and 140 others injured since Wednesday. Several Palestinians lost their lives after the regime’s troopers once again opened fire on crowds waiting for aid trucks in the west of Gaza City. In the north of Gaza City, an aerial raid on a mosque in the Jabalia refugee camp also claimed lives. Meanwhile, malnutrition and dehydration persist, inflicting severe consequences on the Palestinian population. Gaza’s medical sources say the number of people died from malnutrition and dehydration has surged to 20. More than 30,800 Gazans, most of them women and children, have been killed since Israel launched its war in early October.

Israel thwarts ceasefire

Hamas resistance movement says Israel has thwarted all efforts by mediators to reach a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip. A senior Hamas official said Israel has rejected to end its onslaught on the besieged strip, ensure aid entrance and the return of displaced Palestinian people. The Hamas delegation has left Cairo without achieving a breakthrough in negotiations. Hamas says the talks are set to resume next week. Envoys from the US, Qatar and Hamas were involved in talks for a ceasefire agreement. The parties are scrambling to reach an agreement before the Muslim Holy Month of Ramadan that begins on March 10.
