“International support for Palestine does not weaken: massive demonstrations took place in several countries to express solidarity with the Palestinians. In London, a rally even brought together nearly 100,000 people. This unprecedented mobilization demonstrates the seriousness of the situation in Gaza and the indignation at the Israeli bombings.
The media continue to relay shocking images of Israeli strikes in Gaza, where dozens of Palestinians, including children, were killed. The Israeli army justifies these attacks by claiming to target Hamas, but many civilians are also affected, which raises strong criticism at the international level.
Faced with this humanitarian crisis, humanitarian aid convoys were sent to Gaza via the Egyptian Rafah terminal. The first convoy, made up of 20 trucks, has already arrived, but the UN considers that this is far from enough to deal with the “catastrophic” situation on site. A request for the delivery of 100 trucks per day has been made to meet the urgent needs of Gazans.
It is also important to note that Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu agreed on a “continuous flow” of aid to the Gaza Strip. However, it remains to be seen whether this aid will be enough to deal with the scale of the damage caused by the bombings.
At the same time, clashes took place on the border between Israel and Lebanon, leading to the deaths of four Hezbollah fighters. The situation in the region seems to be worsening further, plunging the Middle East into a spiral of uncontrollable violence.
Faced with this escalation of tensions, several countries, including France, are trying to intervene to find a political solution. Emmanuel Macron announced his visit to Israel to express his support for the search for a ceasefire and a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
In conclusion, the situation in Gaza remains very worrying despite the efforts made to deliver humanitarian aid. The demonstrations of support across the world demonstrate the international mobilization in favor of Palestine, but it is essential that political actions follow in order to end this spiral of violence and find a lasting solution for the region.
