'Israel's systematic, militarized chaos' overwhelming Gaza: Oxfam

Oxfam describes "Israel's" alleged "safe zones" as "a mirage: unprotected, not agreed or trusted, not provisioned, and not accessible."

Oxfam described the inability they face to deliver humanitarian relief in Gaza, as the Israeli war machine drags the genocide, causing mass destruction, hazards, and terror among civilians.

Oxfam's Humanitarian Director Marta Valdes Garcia recently criticized governments' lack of action toward reaching a permanent ceasefire, saying, "Our political leaders are failing – in abject weakness – to forge a ceasefire, which is the only possible humanitarian action that now really matters. The systemic, militarised chaos has overwhelmed the international humanitarian system. Our governments don’t even have the smokescreen of humanitarianism to hide behind now as "Israel" carries out its campaign of collective punishment."

Garcia goes on to emphasize the absence of safe locations in Gaza, saying, "Israel’s so-called safe zones within Gaza are a mirage: unprotected, not agreed or trusted, not provisioned, and not accessible. We fear that masses of terrified people will be forced beyond Gaza itself under the guise of ‘safety’. This would force the humanitarian system into an impossible choice between helping civilians and being complicit in their forced deportation."

She also stressed that "Israel's" military strategy of absolute destruction not only affects Gaza but will also take its toll on Israelis, saying that only a ceasefire will ensure the protection of all parties alike. 

2 months into #Gaza's crisis & an inadequate pause, 2M Gazan's lives continue to be at risk of traumatic violence. Displacement, mass casualties, & a collapsed healthcare system mark their daily nightmare.

Oxfam employees in Gaza have recently shared cases they witnessed of children asking for separate bags of clothes in case their parents die in Israeli bombardments and they were forced to flee again. 

Earlier, one staff member said, "This is one of the most difficult days and wars that we have experienced. If you look anywhere around, you will find displaced people, injured people, people sleeping in the streets, and even we face many difficulties in distributing aid because there is no safe place in Gaza. Every area can be dangerous, each and every place can be bombed at any moment."

As of now, the delivery of aid to civilians is rendered impossible, as Israeli attacks have not stopped, forcing Palestinians to stay on the run, which does not guarantee the reception of aid.

The Resistance, the sigh of the oppressed 

Earlier today, the UNRWA Commissioner-General said in a statement, "We are reaching a point of no return in Gaza, where the blatant disregard for international humanitarian law scars our collective conscience. States must find the political will to end this tragedy. Failing to act now and stop the carnage will forever stain our credibility as representatives of the international community, and fuel endless cycles of violence that will eventually engulf us all."

UNRWA has relentlessly called for a ceasefire to no avail. As "Israel" intensifies its attacks on Gaza, and while major Western countries with political influence allow the massacring of an entire people, Gaza's only breath of relief comes from the Resistance factions that continue to counter-attack the Israeli aggression. 

On Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian emphasized that the Resistance responded forcefully to Israeli assaults so far, and the coming days will be very frightening for the Israeli occupation.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza confirmed that Palestinian Resistance fighters are engaged in fierce confrontations against Israeli occupation forces at the axes north of Khan Younis and its eastern areas.

Amid escalating battles, particularly east of Khan Younis, Israeli warplanes are carrying out intense airstrikes on the province, south of the Gaza Strip.

Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, destroyed a total of 23 Israeli military vehicles, either entirely or partially, in the combat zones of the cities of Khan Younis in the south of the Strip and Beit Lahia in its north.

Additionally, Al-Qassam snipers targeted six Israeli soldiers, resulting in casualties and injuries. Meanwhile, the Resistance fighters detonated an explosive device in a house that was used by a special Israeli force and targeted another fortified house with anti-personnel shells.

Just today, al-Qassam reported that their fighters were able to cause substantial damage to Israeli ranks in a defensive operation in Khan Younis, with three Israeli officers reported killed.
