GAZA – Not less than thirteen Palestinians have drowned in Northern Gaza while trying to reach humanitarian aid airdropped in the sea of Gaza.

The Jordanian Air Force and the US Air Force have resorted to air drop of humanitarian aid into Gaza, most of them falling on the sea shore following the decision of Israeli Defence Forces, IDF to block delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza by road.

Most of the humanitarian aid enroute Gaza through the Rafah crossing from Egypt have been blocked by Israelis, leading to long queues of humanitarian aid, comprising food and medicine. Most of the items will get spoilt on the road just few metres from Gaza.

Spokesman of the IDF, Daniel Hagari has called on Hamas to release all 134 captives, stressing that Israel is at war with Palestine as a result of the captives.

“Amit Soussana, from Kfar Aza, was kidnapped on the 7th of October by Hamas and was held captive for 55 days. Amit Soussana suffered sexual violence in her captivity by her captor.

“This is a wake up call to the world to act. To do everything and pressure Hamas to free our hostages. To bring our hostages home. 134 hostages in horrific conditions under the captivity of Hamas. This is why we are in Gaza. This is why we fight.”
