Of these, 27 deaths occurred in southern Gaza alone. Officials state that 14 of these individuals were killed in the Israeli military corridor (military corridor), which has frequently been targeted during humanitarian aid (humanitarian aid) distribution.
Devastation Also Hits Central Gaza
Central Gaza was not spared from Israel's attacks. Officials at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital (Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital), located in Deir al-Balah, reported that 13 people were killed in attacks there. Health officials at Shifa Hospital (Shifa Hospital) in Gaza City stated that they received one body and admitted several injured individuals. They also mentioned that continuous attacks have made it difficult to access the hospital. Israel is conducting a major operation to occupy (occupation) the city, further increasing the difficulties for civilians.
Consideration of Trump's Peace Plan
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has introduced a 20-point peace plan (peace plan) for Gaza. This plan attempts to end the war (war) that has been ongoing for nearly two years. Under the plan, Hamas (Hamas) would have to release 48 hostages (hostages), of whom approximately 20 are confirmed to be alive. In return, Israel would release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners (Palestinian prisoners).
The plan stipulates that Hamas must relinquish power and lay down its weapons. However, the proposal makes no mention of the establishment of a Palestinian state (Palestinian state). This is why disagreements are emerging among Palestinian factions regarding this plan.
Netanyahu Accepts Proposal
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Benjamin Netanyahu) has accepted Trump's plan. However, critics argue that the plan largely serves Israel's interests. Many analysts believe that this agreement offers limited prospects for a permanent solution (permanent solution) for Palestinians.
On the other hand, Palestinian factions are still deliberating the plan. A Hamas official told the Associated Press (AP) that some points of the proposal are unacceptable (unacceptable) to them, although he did not clarify which points these were. The official stated that an official response would be given after consultation (consultation) with other Palestinian factions (Palestinian factions).
Worsening Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza
The continuous attacks in Gaza have deepened the humanitarian crisis (humanitarian crisis). Thousands of people have been displaced, and hospitals are running out of space. Amidst limited resources and relentless bombardment, civilians are struggling to access basic necessities like food, water, and medicine. Hospital officials state that treating the injured has become increasingly challenging. Due to shortages of electricity and medication, patients often do not receive timely treatment.
