Israel has
carried out fresh attacks on Gaza in its latest violation of October’s
ceasefire agreement.
Israeli airstrikes were reported in Beit Lehia, eastern
parts of Gaza City, and in Khan Younis, where some areas are also under Israeli
artillery fire. On Wednesday Israel reopened the Zikim crossing into northern
Gaza for the first time in two months — following repeated pleas by U.N. aid
agencies to allow food and other essential goods to flow to communities left
hungry and destitute by Israel’s scorched-earth bombing campaign. Meanwhile
Israel is increasingly barring foreign doctors from volunteering in Gaza – like
California trauma surgeon Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, who says he was blocked from
entering Gaza this week. The World Health Organization warns only half of
Gaza’s 36 hospitals are even partially functioning. This is Mohammed Wael
Helles, a 14-year-old Palestinian boy who’s gone months without proper care for
a severe spinal cord injury he received when an Israeli airstrike struck the
vehicle he was riding in.
Mohammed Wael Helles: “I have been waiting for surgery for 50 days, and my surgery shouldn’t be delayed because I have a severed spinal cord. Also, there are thousands of people waiting for surgery rooms. I also have vertebrae fractures and I can’t breathe.”
