• Imminent closure of two hospitals in Gaza. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) explained this risk by “i“insufficient fuel to run the generators”, in his final update on the situation. The al-Awda establishment, located in Tal al-Zaatar, in the north of the Palestinian enclave, is particularly concerned. It is the only maternity service provider in the region. Al-Quds hospital, the second largest in the Gaza Strip, is also threatened by imminent closure.
French aid of 100 million euros for Gaza. While France had announced, following the start of the war, aid of 20 million euros intended for civilians in the Gaza Strip, Paris will “increase this effort to 100 million euros for 2023″, declared Emmanuel Macron Thursday during this humanitarian conference for Gaza. He also called “all countries present to increase their financial contributions towards the Palestinian civilian population via the United Nations”.
Tens of thousands of Gaza residents are fleeing south. Bombings and ground fighting still rage between Israeli soldiers and Hamas, pushing civilians to flee towards the south of the besieged Palestinian territory. According to the UN, several hundred thousand Gazans remain trapped in a dire humanitarian situation in the north, particularly in Gaza City. On Wednesday, nearly 50,000 residents left via an “evacuation corridor”, said a spokesperson for the organization. He assured that the corridor would open once more this Thursday.
