卡塔尔官员周一宣布,哈马斯和以色列之间为期四天的停火延长了两天。
在哈马斯10月7日突然袭击以色列期间,200多人被扣为人质,并被关押在饱受战争蹂躏的加沙近两个月,其中几十人在停火期间于过去几天获释。哈马斯释放了69名人质,交换了从以色列监狱释放的150名巴勒斯坦人。
我们对这场冲突的了解
这场为了释放以色列人质和巴勒斯坦囚犯而暂停的战争现在已经结束将近两个月.
据哈马斯控制的加沙卫生部称,在加沙,至少有14854人死亡,36000人受伤。
据以色列官员称,自10月7日以来,以色列已有至少1200人死亡,6900人受伤。
加沙是“彻底的大屠杀”
据联合国负责人道主义事务的副秘书长兼紧急救济协调员马丁·格里菲斯说,在加沙,人道主义危机日益恶化,68%的遇难者是妇女和儿童,五分之四的居民流离失所。
“我想我以前从未见过这样的事情。这是彻头彻尾的大屠杀,”他周日告诉CNN。
“加沙没有人上学。没有人知道他们的未来是什么。医院已经成为一个战场,而不是医疗场所,”格里菲斯说。
“这不仅仅是加沙的危机。这是一场关于人性的危机,”格里菲斯说。"战争已成为当今的选择,由此带来的痛苦是巨大的。"
11名人质获释,其中包括两名幼童
以色列国防军发言人表示,10月7日在以色列被绑架的11名人质已被释放,由红十字会监管。
卡塔尔官员说,周一从加沙释放的11名人质是双重公民,分别来自以色列以及法国、德国和阿根廷,而33名被释放的巴勒斯坦人包括30名未成年人和3名妇女。
据以色列方面确认,返回的人质包括12岁的艾坦·亚哈米、51岁的卡琳娜·恩格尔伯特、18岁的米卡·安格尔、12岁的尤瓦尔·恩格尔、34岁的莎伦·阿洛尼-库尼奥、3岁的尤利·科尼奥、3岁的艾玛·库尼奥、16岁的萨哈尔·卡尔德龙、12岁的埃雷兹·卡尔德龙、16岁的奥尔·雅科夫和12岁的伊吉尔·雅科夫。
暂停允许创纪录数量的援助到达加沙:柯比
国家安全委员会发言人约翰·柯比指出,以色列和哈马斯之间的停火“允许人道主义援助涌入加沙”。
柯比说,周日,200辆卡车被派往加沙,这是自10月7日以来规模最大的援助车队。他说,现在已有2000多辆卡车进入加沙。
柯比说,随着停火时间又延长了两天,有“更多的几十辆卡车和数万加仑的燃料可以进入加沙,运送给有需要的人”。“我们将利用每一天的每一个小时,努力帮助加沙人民。”
拜登:“我们不会停止,直到所有的人质……被释放”
美国总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)对延长加沙的人道主义暂停进行了吹捧,他在一份新的声明中表示,他“在过去几天里一直深入参与,以确保这项通过美国广泛的调解和外交斡旋和维持的协议能够继续取得成果。”
到目前为止,58名人质——40名以色列人和18名外国公民——已经获释,其中包括4岁的美籍以色列人阿比盖尔·伊丹。阿比盖尔在她4岁生日的两天后,于周日被释放。
拜登说,他“在阿比盖尔获释后与她的家人进行了交谈,我们正在与我们的以色列合作伙伴密切合作,以确保她在开始从这种难以形容的创伤中恢复时获得所需的护理和支持。”
拜登还指出,“我们正在充分利用战斗暂停的机会,增加进入加沙的人道主义援助数量,我们将继续努力为巴勒斯坦人民建设一个和平与尊严的未来。”
奥巴马总统感谢以色列、卡塔尔和埃及领导人的持续努力,并发誓说:“我们不会停止努力,直到所有被哈马斯恐怖分子扣押的人质都被释放。”
Israel-Gaza live updates: 11 more Israeli hostages released
A four-day cease-fire between Hamas and Israel has been extended by two days, Qatari officials announced on Monday.
Dozens of the more than 200 people taken hostage during Hamas' Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel and held in war-torn Gaza for nearly two months were released over the last few days during the cease-fire. Sixty-nine hostages have been released by Hamas, exchanged for 150 Palestinians released from Israeli prisons.
What we know about the conflict
The war, which has been paused to allow for the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, is nowapproaching two months.
In Gaza, at least 14,854 people have been killed and 36,000 have been injured, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry.
In Israel, at least 1,200 people have been killed and 6,900 others have been injured since Oct. 7, according to Israeli officials.
Gaza is 'complete and utter carnage'
In Gaza, where the humanitarian crisis is worsening by the day, 68% of the people killed are women and children, while four out of five residents are displaced, according to U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths.
"I don't think I've seen anything like this before. It's complete and utter carnage," he told CNN on Sunday.
"Nobody goes to school in Gaza. Nobody knows what their future is. Hospitals have become a place of war, not of curing," Griffiths said.
"It's not just a crisis about Gaza. It's a crisis about humanity," Griffiths said. "War has become the option of the day, and the suffering that comes from it is astronomical."
11 more hostages, including 2 toddlers, released
Eleven more hostages who were abducted from Israel on Oct. 7 have been released and are in the custody of the Red Cross, an Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson said.
The 11 hostages released from Gaza Monday were dual citizens -- from Israel as well as France, Germany and Argentina -- while the 33 released Palestinians are comprised of 30 minors and three women, Qatari officials said.
Israel identified the returned hostages as 12-year-old Eitan Yahami, 51-year-old Karina Engelbert, 18-year-old Mika Angle, 12-year-old Yuval Engel, 34-year-old Sharon Aloni-Kunyo, 3-year-old Yuli Konyo, 3-year-old Emma Kunio, 16-year-old Sahar Calderon, 12-year-old Erez Calderon, 16-year-old Or Yaakov and 12-year-old Yigil Yaakov.
Pause allowed record amounts of aid to reach Gaza: Kirby
The cease-fire between Israel and Hamas "has allowed for a surge of humanitarian assistance into Gaza," National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby noted.
Two-hundred trucks were dispatched to Gaza on Sunday -- the biggest convoy of aid since Oct. 7, Kirby said. Over 2,000 trucks have now entered Gaza, he said.
With two more days now added to the cease-fire, there's "the chance for dozens more trucks, and tens of thousands of more gallons of fuel, that can get into Gaza to people in need," Kirby said. "We're going to take advantage of every hour of every day that there's a pause to try to help the people of Gaza."
Biden: 'We will not stop until all of the hostages … are released'
President Joe Biden touted the extension of the humanitarian pause in Gaza, saying in a new statement that he has "remained deeply engaged over the last few days to ensure that this deal -- brokered and sustained through extensive U.S. mediation and diplomacy -- can continue to deliver results."
Fifty-eight hostages -- 40 Israelis and 18 foreign citizens -- have been released so far, including 4-year-old American-Israeli Abigail Idan. Abigail was released on Sunday, two days after her 4th birthday.
Biden said he "spoke with Abigail’s family following her release, and we are working closely with our Israeli partners to ensure she gets the care and support she needs as she begins to recover from this unspeakable trauma."
Biden also noted, "We are taking full advantage of the pause in fighting to increase the amount of humanitarian aid moving into Gaza, and we will continue our efforts to build a future of peace and dignity for the Palestinian people."
The president thanked leaders from Israel, Qatar and Egypt for their continued work, and vowed, "We will not stop until all of the hostages held by Hamas terrorists are released."
