Gaza Resistance Fires Rockets as Israeli Occupation Tightens Blockade

Al Manar26-03-2025

Despite the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza due to the Israeli tightened blockade, Palestinian Resistance is still firing rockets at the occupied territories, sending a clear message of defiance against the Israeli oppression.
Israeli media reported two rockets were fired from Gaza on Wednesday, with occupation army claiming it had shot down a projectile.
'Israel's air force shot down one of the projectiles, while the other landed in the Zimrat community, near the Gaza border,' a statement published by the occupation army on Telegram said.
Renewed Aggression Killed 38 in Last 24 Hours
Meanwhile, the Health Ministry in Gaza said the bodies of at least 39 people, including one recently recovered, arrived in hospitals across the besieged territory over the past 24 hours.

In its latest daily update, the ministry said another 124 people were wounded in Israeli attacks.
The figures bring the confirmed number of people killed since the start of Israel's war to 50,183 with another 113,828 wounded, it added. They include at least 830 people martyred and 1,787 wounded since the Israeli occupation ended a two-month ceasefire on March 18 and resumed the war on the besieged enclave.
Thousands more people are missing under the rubble of destroyed buildings and presumed dead, according to authorities in Gaza.
New Offensive Displaced 142,000 Palestinians
For its part, the UN's humanitarian agency (OCHA) said more than 142,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced since March 18.
'Fleeing with only a few personal belongings, many people are now staying on the streets, in desperate need for food, drinking water, and shelter essentials,' the agency said.

The displacement is being driven mainly by Israeli displacement orders and its destruction of homes and public infrastructure, OCHA said. Since Israel resumed the war, its military has issued six notices, placing about 15 percent of the Gaza Strip under evacuation.
Water Crisis in Gaza
On the other hand, Doctors Without Borders, known by its French acronym MSF, said the remaining water system in Gaza will completely collapse if fuel supplies run out, all but cutting off people's access to clean water in the Strip.
The statement came as the Israeli punishing blockade entered its 25th day.
The aid group said the lack of access to safe water is already having dire consequences for people's health.
With a blockade on electricity and fuel in Gaza, Palestine, the remaining water system is collapsing, forcing people to drink unsafe water.
We call for the ceasefire to be immediately restored and for Israeli authorities to allow electricity and aid into Gaza.

In al-Mawasi and Khan Younis healthcare centers, the three most common conditions treated by MSF, jaundice, diarrhea and scabies, are directly caused by inadequate provision of safe water, it said.
'The sheer number of children with skin conditions is a direct result of Gaza's destruction and blockade,' said Chiara Lodi, MSF medical team coordinator in Gaza.
'In addition to treating adults and children who have severe war injuries, our staff are treating an increasing number of children with entirely preventable skin diseases like scabies, which is not only uncomfortable, but in severe cases, sees them scratch their skin until it bleeds which can lead to infection.'
'This is a result of children being unable to bathe, spreading scabies and other infections, leaving lasting scars,' she added.

US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says it will open two aid distribution centers on Thursday

U.S-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) said it will open two aid distribution centers on Thursday. GHF had said earlier that its sites would not open at their usual time due to maintenance and repair work. It did not say when aid distribution would resume. The group, which has been fiercely criticised by humanitarian organisations, including the United Nations, began distributing aid last week. The U.N. has warned that most of Gaza's 2.3 million population is at risk of famine after an 11-week Israeli blockade of the enclave. Reuters

US-backed Gaza aid group halts distribution, UN to vote on ceasefire demand

The U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation will not give out any aid on Wednesday as it presses Israel to boost civilian safety beyond the perimeter of its distribution sites, a day after dozens of Palestinians seeking aid were killed. The GHF said it has asked the Israeli military to "guide foot traffic in a way that minimizes confusion or escalation risks" near military perimeters; develop clearer guidance for civilians; and enhance training to support civilian safety. "Our top priority remains ensuring the safety and dignity of civilians receiving aid," said a GHF spokesperson. An Israeli military spokesperson warned civilians against moving in areas leading to GHF sites on Wednesday, deeming them "combat zones". The new aid distribution process for Gaza's two million-plus population from just three sites was launched in the midst of a fierce new offensive by Israel since late last month. The U.N. and other aid groups say the model, which uses private U.S. security and logistics workers, militarizes aid. An Israeli airstrike killed at least 18 Palestinians on Wednesday morning, including women and children, at a school housing displaced families west of the southern city of Khan Younis, taking the day's toll to 21 so far.
