We have with us from Gaza Al-Jazeera correspondent Hiba Akila
Hiba, what are the latest developments in the sector that is facing a difficult humanitarian situation?
The Israeli raids are still going on
and these raids were concentrated in the last few hours
in the north-west of Gaza City and in the north of the Gaza Strip
and also in the area of Deir El-Balah
in the middle of the Gaza Strip
there were a number of raids targeting different areas
The Israeli bombardment also continued in the last few hours
in the south of the Gaza Strip, in Rafah, in Khan Younes
and the most prominent during the last few hours of the night
and since the morning of this day until now
is the continuation of the Israeli raids targeting houses and residential buildings
which led to the fall of dozens of martyrs and injuries
These raids were targeting these houses
and most of these houses are inhabited
and therefore these houses were destroyed on the heads of its inhabitants
and this increased the number of martyrs and injuries
We also say that these houses that were targeted
for example, the house of the Shihab family in the city of Jabalia
this bombardment had 44 martyrs and dozens of injuries
because these families that live in this residential building
were hosting a number of relatives and acquaintances
who were displaced from the border areas in Bayt Hanoun
and in the north of the Gaza Strip
and therefore this was repeated in several areas
in Librej, in the house of the Abu Meddan family
who killed 17 martyrs and dozens of injuries
as well as in the camp of Jabalia in the north of the Gaza Strip
the house of the Halawa family
which was the result of this bombardment
25 martyrs and dozens of injuries
We are talking about dozens of houses here
I mentioned these numbers as an example of the siege
because the numbers were very large during the last night
and even in the early hours of this day
This bombardment that continues at night
and we see that the Gaza Strip is still living in complete darkness
at night, I mean because of the complete power outage
from the Gaza Strip
The Israeli power lines have stopped
with the confirmation of a decision by the Israeli occupation authorities
and also the decision to ban the importation of any fuel
to the only electricity production company in Gaza
and this led to the company's complete suspension
for two days
and therefore, the humanitarian situation is very difficult
with the continuation of this closure and the strong siege
by the Israeli occupation authorities on the Gaza Strip
which prevents the importation of any food, medical, or oil supplies
and this threatens the lives of the citizens here
and this is what the Ministry of Health in Gaza warned about
because the numbers of the injured are very large
The siege continues
The bombings are now resuming on the Gaza Strip
We hear the explosions one after another
Some of these explosions are close to the Gaza Strip
and we also hear explosions from the Middle East
and of course, the news is about the targets and the continuation
of the series of bombings by the Israeli warplanes
which are flying extensively in all areas of the Gaza Strip
and the unmanned aerial vehicles
and also the Israeli artillery
which is located along the border areas of the east of the Gaza Strip
and in the north and in the south
and therefore, there is a continuation of these bombings
targeting different areas of the Gaza Strip
When we talk about the humanitarian situation
we were talking about the Ministry of Health's warnings
that the hospitals are already full
and that the operating rooms are working beyond their capacity
and the facilities are limited
and also the medicines and medical supplies
and the equipment
There is a severe shortage
because the Israeli occupation authorities
prevented the entry of any medical supplies
and the medical supplies of the health sector
This means that there is a real disaster facing this sector
and that the continuation of the bombings
increases the influx of the wounded and the injured to the hospitals
and the medical staff is doing their best
but even in this case, the hospitals do not understand these numbers
and with the lack of facilities, the situation is getting worse
We are now seeing in many scenes
and the cameras of the press and even the citizens
a large number of the citizens and the injured
are being treated even on the ground
on the ground in the hospitals
even the frozen dead do not understand
these large numbers of the martyrs
who are receiving heavy blows
and in the shadow of the continuation of this bombing
that you are hearing now
I want to ask you about this
even the martyrs are not able in many cases
These blows that we hear with you
and you directly with us on the air
if you were to convey them to us, where would you focus specifically?
We will now see the smoke column
here in the north of Gaza city
and in the middle of Gaza city
in different neighborhoods
We talked about the north and west of Gaza city
for the past three hours
the bombing focused on this area
but now there is also a continuous bombing
on the neighborhoods of Al-Tuffah
and the northern areas of Gaza city
in Beit Lahya and Jabalia
in the eastern neighborhoods of Gaza city
and as we also learned that there are now bombings
on the area of Deir El Balah
and on different areas in Khan Younes and Rafah
These bombings have been going on since last night
and since the first hours of this day
but in the near future
the focus will be on specific areas
and this will increase the difficulty of reaching the civilian defense positions
We hear that there are new bombings in the same area
in the north-west
Yes, it is a bombing
as you can see now
this is the last bombing
on the coastal area in the north-west of Gaza city
and there was also a few bombings
on the western area of Beit Lahya
and there were also bombings
by the Israeli warplanes
but in this last hour
the Israeli warplanes also participated
in firing rockets from their missiles
towards the coastal areas
in the north-west of Gaza city
and also in the northern areas of Beit Lahya
This bombing, which lasted until the 7th day
was mostly targeting houses and buildings
and also houses that were inhabited
and these houses were bombed and destroyed
over the heads of its inhabitants
in addition to the Israeli occupation army's warnings
for large residential areas
for the inhabitants of these areas
to leave them in preparation for their bombing
and this is what happened in several areas
in the south sand district of Gaza city
dozens of residential buildings were bombed
in the area of Al-Karama district
in the north-west of Gaza city
and also a large number of residential towers were bombed
and it is known that this district
is a collection of dozens of residential towers
Last night, a large number of Israeli warplanes
targeted the area of Al-Mukhabarat towers
and a large number of these towers were destroyed
We imagine that thousands live in these residential towers
and these large residential areas are evacuated
from the population to become displaced
Some of them are going to UNRWA schools
which turned these schools into shelters for these displaced people
trying as much as possible to provide basic materials
and basic necessities for these people
but there is a clear shortage of drinking water
and food supplies
and this is due to the severe situation
and the large number of people
as well as the continued closure of Gaza
by the Israeli occupation
There is no food or medical supplies
and also no oil
so there is a complete shortage of electricity
and drinking water
and this has been warned by the international organizations
and the human rights organizations
that what is happening now
is a war crime against the citizens in the Gaza Strip
As you can hear, the bombings are taking place in different places
This bombing came from the coasts of Gaza
and the west of Gaza
and the north-west of Gaza
and also in the areas of Beit Lahya
north of the Gaza Strip
in the east and in the middle of Gaza
These bombings are taking place
and you can hear them in slow motion
