自10月7日激进组织哈马斯对以色列发动前所未有的突然袭击以来,已有数千人死亡,数千人受伤,以色列以轰炸和全面封锁邻近的加沙地带进行报复,使该地区处于全面战争的边缘。
我们对这场冲突的了解
这场战争,现已进入第二阶段据以色列称,这已经是第24天了。
据以色列当局称,自10月7日以来,以色列已有至少1400人死亡,4629人受伤。据哈马斯控制的加沙卫生部称,在邻近的加沙地带,至少有8306人死亡,21048人受伤。
救援人员和官员担心,以色列呼吁从加沙北部撤离正在引发一场人道主义灾难,因为电力和其他供应已经被切断,为似乎迫在眉睫的地面进攻做准备。
人道主义组织敦促以色列取消撤离并同意停火,尽管该国坚持有权自卫,这是美国认可的权利。
近东救济工程处在三周内将一半加沙人口推向南方
据联合国近东巴勒斯坦难民救济和工程处主任专员菲利普·拉扎里尼称,在过去三周内,100万人被从加沙地带北部推向南部。
根据Lazzarini的说法,这代表了加沙人口的一半。
他在周一的一次简报会上说:“我已经说过很多次了,我要再说一遍,加沙没有一个地方是安全的。”。
Lazzarini说,超过670 000名流离失所者目前住在过度拥挤的近东救济工程处学校和建筑里。
计划中的最后一架美国包机将于周二离开特拉维夫
据美国国务院称,计划中的最后一架美国包机将于周二离开特拉维夫的本古里安机场。
“本古里安机场以外的商业可用性仍然有限,”美国国务院表示。“如果您想离开以色列,请前往本古立昂国际机场3号航站楼。美国大使馆人员将到场指导您并提供具体的航班信息。做好等待的准备。”
国务院发言人马特·米勒说,包机即将结束,因为不再有足够的美国乘客。
“这纯粹是一个需求问题。我们昨天有一架包机,上面有五个人,”他周一说。“我们一直看到对我们包机的需求下降,我们有许多航班的出货量只有50%。我认为,我们提供的席位中,实际上已经有25%得到了填补。”
“我们已经通知每个人,明天的包机是我们目前计划的最后一次,所以如果他们想离开,现在是时候了,”他继续说。“但我们会一直实时评估是否会有额外的需求,当地的情况是否会发生变化,如果我们需要做出额外的安排,我们当然愿意这样做。”
哈马斯对在加沙的外国公民提出“许多要求”:国务院
美国国务院发言人马特·米勒说,哈马斯对外国公民开放埃及和加沙之间的拉法过境点提出了“许多要求”,其中包括被困在加沙的500至600名美国人。
“哈马斯在允许人们离开加沙之前提出了一些要求。我不会回应这些要求,但这是我们正在继续努力解决的事情,”他说。
美国在向加沙运送燃料方面取得“重大进展”:国务院

米勒说:“燃料对于运送人道主义援助、海水淡化和提供医疗服务来说是必不可少的,我们希望看到燃料尽快用于这些目的。”。“我应该指出,即使在我们努力为这些重要的人道主义服务提供燃料的时候,哈马斯仍然保持着大量的燃料储备。然而,它不是向医院或援助工作者或其他民用需求提供燃料,而是继续囤积燃料,以利于其战斗人员,并对以色列进行恐怖袭击。”
Israel-Gaza live updates: Half of Gaza population pushed south in 3 weeks, UNRWA says
Thousands of people have died and thousands more have been injured since the militant group Hamas launched an unprecedented surprise attack on Israel on Oct. 7 and Israel retaliated with a bombing campaign and total siege of the neighboring Gaza Strip, leaving the region on the verge of all-out war.
What we know about the conflict
The war,which has now moved into its second stage, according to Israel, is in its 24th day.
At least 1,400 people have died and 4,629 others have been injured in Israel since Oct. 7, according to Israeli authorities. In the neighboring Gaza Strip, at least 8,306 people have been killed and 21,048 have been injured, according to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry.
Aid workers and officials fear that Israel's call for an evacuation of the northern part of Gaza is precipitating a humanitarian disaster as electricity and other supplies have been cut off in preparation for what appears to be an imminent ground offensive.
Humanitarian groups have urged Israel to call off the evacuation and agree to a cease-fire, even as the country has asserted a right to defend itself -- a right the United States endorses.
Half of Gaza population pushed south in 3 weeks: UNRWA
One million people were pushed from the north of the Gaza Strip towards the south in the last three weeks, according to Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner general for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.
This represents half of the population of Gaza, according to Lazzarini.
"I have said many times, and I will say it again, no place is safe in Gaza," he said during a briefing Monday.
Over 670,000 displaced people are currently in overcrowded UNRWA schools and buildings, according to Lazzarini.
Last planned US charter flight to leave Tel Aviv Tuesday
The last planned U.S. charter flight out of Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport is set for Tuesday, according to the State Department.
"Commercial availability remains limited out of Ben Gurion Airport," the State Department said. "Please go to Ben Gurion International Airport, Terminal 3 if you wish to depart Israel. U.S. Embassy personnel will be present to direct you and provide specific flight information. Be prepared to wait."
State Department spokesperson Matt Miller said the chartered flights are ending because there's no longer enough American passengers to fill them.
"It is purely a demand issue. We had a charter flight yesterday that had five people on it," he said Monday. "We've consistently seen the demand for our charter flights go down to where we had a lot of flights going out with 50% capability. I think the number of seats that we have offered, we have had something like 25% of that actually be filled."
"We have notified everyone that the charter flight tomorrow is the last one that we are currently planning, so if they do want to leave, now's the time to do it," he continued. "But we will always conduct assessments in real time about whether there's additional demand, whether circumstances change on the ground, and if we need to make additional arrangements, we will of course be open to doing so."
Hamas making 'number of demands' for foreign nationals in Gaza: State Department
State Department spokesperson Matt Miller said Hamas was making "a number of demands" for opening the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza to foreign nationals, including the 500 to 600 Americans who are trapped in Gaza.
"Hamas is making a number of demands before they’ll allow people to leave Gaza. I’m not going to speak to those demands, but it's something we're continuing to try to work through," he said.
US making 'significant progress' on getting fuel into Gaza: State Department
State Department spokesperson Matt Miller claimed Monday that the U.S. was making "significant progress" on getting fuel into Gaza via a "reliable delivery mechanism" that would assuage Israel's fear that it could be intercepted by Hamas.
"Fuel is essential to the delivery of humanitarian assistance, the desalinization of water and the provision of medical care and we want to see it provided for those purposes as soon as possible," Miller said. "I should note that even as we work to provide fuel for these essential humanitarian services, Hamas continues to maintain extensive fuel reserves. Rather than provide that fuel to hospitals or aid workers or for other civilian needs, however, it continues to hoard it for the benefit of its fighters and to carry out its terrorist attacks against Israel."
