Examples of humanitarian efforts by Israel directed towards Gazans and Palestinians.
1. Humanitarian Corridors: Israel has established humanitarian corridors to allow safe passage for Gazans fleeing conflict zones. These corridors enable the movement of civilians from northern to southern Gaza【 (The Times of Israel).】.
2. Daily Humanitarian Pauses: Israel has implemented daily humanitarian pauses in military operations to allow for the delivery of aid and the evacuation of civilians. These pauses facilitate the entry of trucks carrying food, water, and medical supplies【 (The Times of Israel)】.
3. **Water Supply**: Israel has been supplying potable water to southern Gaza through pipelines. Despite challenges, these efforts aim to alleviate the severe water shortages faced by Gazans【(Reuters)】.
4. **Medical Supplies and Services**: Israel, often in cooperation with international organizations like the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), ensures the delivery of medical supplies and supports health services in Gaza. This includes providing essential medications and medical equipment【(International Committee of the Red Cross】.
5. **Fuel Deliveries**: Despite concerns about potential misuse, Israel has facilitated the delivery of fuel to Gaza. This fuel is crucial for running generators at hospitals, water, and sanitation facilities【(Reuters)】.
6. **Food Aid**: Israel has allowed hundreds of trucks carrying food into Gaza, addressing the critical food shortages and helping to prevent starvation among the population【(The Times of Israel】【(Reuters)】.
7. Coordination with International Organizations: Israel coordinates with various international bodies such as the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and the ICRC to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid and to address the needs of displaced populations【(International Committee of the Red Cross】.
8. Medical Evacuations: In some cases, Israel has facilitated the evacuation of Gazans in need of urgent medical care to hospitals within Israel or other locations where they can receive necessary treatment【(International Committee of the Red Cross)】.
"After encircling northern Gaza with ground forces, the Israeli air force dropped leaflets in eastern areas of Khan Younis in the south of the Gaza Strip telling people to evacuate to shelters for their own safety.
While the truce for exchanges of hostages and prisoners between Israel and Hamas still holds, a resumption of hostilities and an expected Israeli offensive in the south could compel hundreds of thousands who fled Gaza City to uproot yet again, along with residents of Khan Younis, a city of more than 400,000, compounding an already dire humanitarian crisis.
Khan Younis is located in the southern half of the Gaza Strip. Tens of thousands of people displaced from the north have already sought refuge there in schools and tents, causing severe overcrowding amid shortages of food and water."
9. Rebuilding Assistance: Post-conflict, Israel has supported reconstruction efforts in Gaza by allowing the entry of construction materials and technical support aimed at rebuilding homes and infrastructure damaged during conflicts【(Reuters)】.
10. Environmental Health Measures: Israel has provided support for improving sanitation and waste management in Gaza. This includes helping to mitigate the spread of diseases caused by overcrowding and inadequate sanitation facilities in shelters and camps【 (Reuters)】.
