"The World Food Programme: Aid brought in is less than Gaza's needs, suffices for one day
Gaza - Saba:
The World Food Programme announced on Wednesday that it had sent only nine thousand tons of food aid to the Gaza Strip since May 19 last, an amount 'less than the food required for one day' for the residents of the Strip, amid the ongoing Israeli genocide since October 7, 2023.
The UN programme said in a post on platform 'X' that this aid is 'less than the amount of food needed for one day, not a month' for all residents of the Strip.
The programme clarified that it is 'ready to scale up operations' in the besieged Strip.
It added: 'We need access and better conditions to carry out our tasks safely'.
The World Food Programme stressed that 'the time to act is now'.
Since March 2, the enemy has tightly closed the crossings of the Gaza Strip to trucks carrying supplies and aid piled up at the border.
The enemy has only allowed limited numbers of aid trucks to enter via the Kerem Shalom crossing, which it controls east of Rafah city, while Palestinians in Gaza need at least 500 trucks per day.
Since October 7, 2023, the enemy, with US support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, ignoring international appeals and International Court of Justice orders to halt it".

Gaza Police: Neutralized & arrested group of criminals who attacked hospital in Khan Younis
Khan Younis - Saba: The Gaza Police Directorate announced on Thursday evening that it had eliminated a group of criminals who attacked Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip, and arrested some of them. In a press statement, the police explained that Nasser Hospital was subjected to a criminal assault by an outlaw group that opposes national unity and collaborates with the Zionist enemy. The police confirmed that this group exploited the conditions resulting from the intense Israeli aggression in Khan Younis, taking advantage of aerial cover from enemy aircraft. They opened fire inside the hospital, vandalized property, and burned several ambulances. Despite the Israeli targeting, a police force confronted these criminals, regained control of the hospital premises, pursued them, and arrested some while neutralizing others. The police affirmed that, despite the brutality of the aggression, they will continue to uphold their duty to maintain civil peace and protect citizens' property and assets. They stressed that this heinous crime is part of the enemy's policy to target Gaza's healthcare system and render it inoperable. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

UN condemns settler attack on Kafr Malik
New York - Saba: The United Nations condemned on Thursday the attack by settlers on the village of Kafr Malik, northeast of Ramallah, which took place yesterday, resulting in the killing of three Palestinian civilians and the injury of seven others. This statement was made by UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric during his daily press briefing. "We condemn the attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians," Dujarric said, noting that "a number of Palestinians were killed and injured as a result of this attack." Dujarric called on Israel, the occupying power, to protect civilians and humanitarian workers, stating, "International law must be respected, and those responsible must be held accountable." In May alone, settlers committed 415 attacks in the West Bank, according to data from the Anti-Wall and Settlement Resistance Authority. Alongside Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, the occupation army and settlers have escalated their assaults in the West Bank, including occupied Quds. Official figures indicate that around 1,000 Palestinians have been killed, nearly 7,000 injured, and more than 17,500 arrested. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

Zionist enemy police arrest protesters demanding ceasefire & prisoner release
Occupied Quds - Saba: On Thursday evening, the Zionist enemy police arrested at least four protesters during a demonstration on "Begin" Road in Jaffa (Tel Aviv), calling for a deal to release Zionist prisoners in Gaza and an end to the ongoing war. According to enemy media sources, three protesters were taken to the "Lev Tel Aviv" police station, while a fourth was transferred to another facility after being detained inside a police vehicle. The newspaper Haaretz reported that the arrests occurred after protesters blocked traffic on "Namir" Road, a vital route leading to Begin Street in the city center. The protest followed a march that started at Rabin Square and headed toward the vicinity of the Israeli army headquarters (the Kirya). The march was led by a group of Israeli soldiers' mothers demanding an end to the war in Gaza and the return of prisoners. Opposition Leader Calls for End to War Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid stated that it is time to end the war in Gaza, urging the leadership to change its failing strategy. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Lapid said, "Tel Aviv has failed in Gaza, and the war has reached a dead end," calling for its conclusion to secure the prisoners' release. "What we are doing now isn't working. The war has reached a deadlock," he added. He continued, "It is time to end the war in Gaza. The leadership must know when to change strategy when it stops succeeding." Lapid further emphasized, "It is not right to leave Israeli soldiers in Gaza as targets for further attacks." Criticism of Netanyahu's Motives The Israeli opposition and prisoners' families accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of prolonging the war to appease the far-right extremists in his government, serving his personal political interests—particularly his grip on power—rather than national priorities.
