Gaza is facing famine within 6 weeks and violations against “Al-Aqsa and Al-Ibrahimi” during “Passover”
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation Media Observatory for Israel’s Crimes against the Palestinians recorded 343 murders between April 23 and 29, 2024. Five of the dead were murdered in the West Bank, and the rest in the Gaza Strip. The Observatory also documented 576 injuries among Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. The total number of murders since October 7, 2023, has now reached approximately 34,879.
“The Wall Street Journal” reported that the number announced by the Palestinian Ministry of Health regarding the Palestinians murdered in the Israeli aggression on Gaza is considered significantly much lower than the actual number due to the inability of the health authorities to count all the murdered, while hospitals and emergency departments are barely functioning.
On April 23, the World Food Program confirmed that famine will hit the Gaza Strip within six weeks, as half of the Strip’s population is suffering from hunger, amid the continued Israeli threat to invade the city of Rafah, which is crowded with displaced people.
On the other hand, Per Lodhamar, former head of the United Nations Mine Action Agency in Iraq, stated that the Israeli aggression on Gaza has resulted in “37 million tons of rubble,” and confirmed that 65% of the demolished buildings in the Strip were residential. Lodhamar added that “removing the resulting debris could take 14 years to complete.”
Al-Aqsa Mosque was subjected to daily raids, amid clear violations during the “Jewish Passover,” when 15 Jewish rabbis asked the Israeli government to allow them to slaughter sacrifices inside the mosque. Palestinian youths prevented extremist Jews from bringing goats into the courtyard of the mosque to slaughter them as sacrifices to celebrate this occasion. In the city of Hebron, the occupation authorities closed the Ibrahimi Mosque to Palestinians and prevented them from praying there for two days under the pretext of enabling settlers to perform Talmudic rituals inside the Mosque on the occasion of “Passover” for the Jews.
On the other hand, the occupation authorities carried out an arrest campaign in the cities and towns of the West Bank throughout the period between 23 and 29 April of this year, resulting in 104 detainees, while the number of settler attacks on Palestinian towns and villages amounted to about 39 attacks, amid land leveling in both Jenin and Nablus and the confiscation of 3 bulldozers and a motorcycle in Salfit and Tulkarm, in addition to many other violations amounting during the aforementioned week to about 1,701 violations.
