Hunger and Bombing in Gaza

Israeli forces have carried out at least eight strikes on humanitarian convoys and their facilities in Gaza since October 2023, even after aid organisations provided their coordinates to the Israeli authorities, according to a report by Human Rights Watch. 
 
HRW said the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) did not issue warnings to the aid organisations before the strikes, which killed or injured at least 31 people.
 
Already, the Israeli regime had hindered aid deliveries in the recent past but to make matters even worse, Israeli settlers have attacked Gaza aid trucks. 
 
Video of the incident on Monday at Tarqumiya checkpoint, west of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, showed settlers blocking the trucks and throwing boxes of much-needed supplies on the ground. Photographs from the scene showed piles of damaged aid packages and drifts of rice and flour across the road. 
 
Late on Monday, photos began circulating on social media showing the trucks on fire. 
 
Hunger and bombing in Gaza. Indeed, Israel is showing the world its brazen inhumanity and brash callousness.
 
S Sivasangari (right) who stunned world No. 2 Hania El Hammamy to triumph in last month's London Classic, could not repeat that success yesterday and so, failed to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the PSA World Squash Championships 2024.
 
The Egyptian won 15-13, 11-6, 11-5 in 44 minutes. It's never easy to beat Hania in her own backyard. More so when she is out for revenge after London. 
 
Never mind, Sivasangari, you'll beat her the next time around! I know you can!
