News - Middle East: Despite last month’s ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, the occupying regime’s air raids and demolitions have continued across Gaza, violating the truce and adding to the devastation in the besieged territory.

The Israeli army hit Khan Younis and Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip and Gaza City with air raids on Saturday morning, as bulldozers carried out more demolitions of residential buildings.

The attacks came despite international calls to uphold the ceasefire and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.

They destroyed key infrastructure and displaced families who had returned to their homes after previous evacuations.

According to UN estimates, 92 percent of all residential buildings in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed in Israel’s war on the war-torn territory.

According to the Gaza Health Ministry, more than 240 Palestinians have been killed since October 10 despite a formal ceasefire being in place.

Experts warn that the US-brokered truce has made no changes to the situation for Palestinians, as daily bombardment by the occupying regime and limited aid access continue.

The United Nations said on Friday that the regime’s authorities have rejected 107 requests for the entry of crucial aid since the October 10 truce.

Palestinians are facing severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine. As winter approaches, families are struggling to survive without shelter or proper nutrition, and reports of starvation are once again surfacing.

Having failed to achieve any of its objectives, the genocidal Israeli war on Gaza has killed 68,877 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 170,679 others since October 7, 2023.
