The Israeli military sopkesman announced 40 air raids were executed last night, mainly on Rafah and the boder. More than 30 people killed today including 3 girls, other children and women. 45 killed in bombing UNRWA school were buried today!
The 1:00-4:00 p.m. truce was a little bit releif to the civilians in the city. The main concern of the people was to get water from distribution centers. There were long lines of people waiting to get drinking water in plastic jugs! Tanks and artillery are still operating at the edges of Gaza city! More people evacuated their places and resorted to relatives and UNRWA schools.... but yesterday's bombing has scared everyone sleeping in the schools! Today, there were trucks of urgent food stuff and other medical aids have been allowed to be entered from Rafah into Gaza.
In Gaza, we are all subject to news but we cannot see TVs. We hear about it from relatives who call us by telephones from abroad. We are still without elecricity and water, plus that a great number of people are without cooking gas! Today, the Red Cross could evacuate some of the injured from the edges of the city, however, Hussain Al-Aiedy's family (21 people mainly women and children with five of them injured) are still stuck in the area totally controlled by the Israeli tanks and vehicles. Despite that Amira Hass published their story in Haaretz and Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) intervension with the Israeli authorities and government, the army did not allow anybody or ambulance to reach that family stuck in the eastern part of Gaza city.

israel close the barriers onley after the hamas use the open barriers to send
terrorist attack to israel.
the hamas use gaza citizen as a barriers thay steal all the humanitarian supply that
israel alow to send, hamas don't care abot the gaza citizen they attaks Israeli
soldiers from school and citizen concentration.
the hamas murderer fatah people. the hamas don't want peace.
If Israel wanted peace, it wouldn't have forced a siege on 1.5 million people for many months.
700 Palestinians dead and counting. Israel wants peace?
God bless humanity.
