Palestinians have been attacking Israeli cities and towns at different times since the country started its war against Hamas on October 7th. Violence has increased a lot in the West Bank during that time.

On Monday, the Palestinian civil defence in Gaza found 210 dead bodies at a hospital in Khan Younis. Israel’s top military intelligence chief also quit because they couldn’t stop the attack on Oct 7. He was the first important person to resign because of it.

The war started because Hamas and other militants attacked southern Israel on Oct 7. They killed about 1,200 people, most of them were not soldiers, and took about 250 people as hostages. Israel says that there are still about 100 people being held captive by militants and the bodies of over 30 others.

The fighting between Israel and Hamas has caused the deaths of over 34,000 Palestinians, with most of them being children and women, according to local health officials. The large cities in Gaza have been severely damaged and there is a lot of destruction. About 80% of the people living in the area have left for other places because the area is surrounded and under attack.

Requests to ensure safe passage for missions to Gaza.

The leader of the World Health Organization wants to make sure aid missions can go safely through Gaza. An aid team couldn’t finish their trip to the badly affected northern part of Gaza.

The fighting, restrictions on goods by the Israeli military, and disorder in Gaza are making it harder for aid to reach the people who need it.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the leader of WHO, said that a mission to two hospitals in northern Gaza was not finished because there were long delays at checkpoints and the situation was still dangerous.

“This means that Kamal Adwan didn’t get fuel and medical supplies for the second time in the last week. And partners couldn’t figure out what was needed at Awda to help fix the services,” he said.

He said the team helped four sick people and their helpers leave Kamal Adwan. One of the sick people was a 9-year-old boy with a tumor in his head.

“We are asking for people to follow the international rules about helping others in need, like giving them medical care and aid. We also want the fighting to stop. ”

Israel has blocked off the upper part of Gaza since the start of the ground attack in late October. They told the people to move to the south. Many people stayed there even though many houses were destroyed and there wasn’t enough food and water.
