Pak - Palestine Forum

Five Palestinians, including four children and a woman, have been killed after a sand dune collapsed onto tents sheltering displaced families in central Gaza, local correspondent for Al Jazeera reports. Other reports indicate six people injured and hospitalized in critical condition. Israel has destroyed their homes, forced them into makeshift camps and continues to restrict the entry of shelter materials and rescue machinery. For the fourth consecutive winter, Palestinian children are dying in conditions Israel has imposed, while President Trump’s so-called @BoardOfPeace fails to secure even the most basic entry of aid and protections for civilians. Palestinian aid organizers tell Drop Site that this is the entirely foreseeable, repeatedly forewarned consequence of Israel’s destruction of Gaza and the failure of those claiming to oversee the ceasefire and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid.
