自哈马斯恐怖分子10月7日入侵以色列四个多月以来，以色列军方继续轰炸邻近的加沙地带。

 

这场冲突是自1948年以色列建国以来交战双方之间最致命的一次冲突，没有迹象表明冲突会很快平息。使100多名人质从加沙获释的短暂停火仍是一个遥远的记忆。

 

以色列和控制加沙地带的巴勒斯坦激进组织哈马斯最近爆发的战争已经过去四个月的标志.

 

根据加沙哈马斯控制的卫生部的数据，自10月7日以来，加沙地带至少有30，228人被以色列军队打死，71，377人受伤。

 

根据以色列国防军的数据，自10月7日以来，哈马斯和其他巴勒斯坦武装分子在以色列造成至少1200人死亡，6900人受伤。

 

在以色列占领的约旦河西岸，暴力事件也激增。根据巴勒斯坦卫生部的数据，自10月7日以来，以色列军队已在该地区杀害了至少395人。

 

这场持续的战争是在哈马斯领导的武装分子从邻国加沙通过海陆空对以色列南部发动前所未有的入侵后开始的。据以色列当局称，数十人被杀，另有200多人被劫为人质。以色列军方随后发动了报复性空袭，随后对加沙进行了地面入侵。加沙是一片140平方英里的领土，自哈马斯2007年掌权以来，有200多万巴勒斯坦人生活在以色列实施的封锁下，并得到了埃及的支持。与以色列不同，加沙没有空袭警报或防空洞。

 

内塔尼亚胡顾问称以色列帮助协调美国在加沙的空投

 

以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的一名顾问否认美国在加沙空投援助是拜登政府对以色列政府控制当地人道主义危机的能力或意愿失去信心的迹象。

 

内塔尼亚胡顾问奥菲尔·法尔克周日在接受美国广播公司新闻采访时表示，美国周六的空投“与以色列完全协调”。

 

法尔克驳斥了任何关于以色列在儿童饿死时没有让足够的援助进入加沙的说法，称以色列“正在让数千辆卡车进入加沙。”

 

法尔克否认加沙有人死于饥饿，尽管一名联合国儿童基金会官员周日发表声明称，据报道至少有10名儿童最近在加沙北部一家医院死于营养不良。一些在加沙工作的医生也报告了儿童因营养不良而死亡的情况。

 

法尔克说，自10月战争开始以来，“可能有数万辆”援助卡车进入加沙。

 

“没有其他国家会这样做，”法尔克说。

 

以色列表示，它正在努力防止援助物资落入哈马斯恐怖组织手中。

 

“我们必须核实它没有被哈马斯偷走，”法尔克说，他声称这种事情“每天都在发生”。

 

一位白宫官员向ABC新闻证实，副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯将于周一在白宫会见以色列战争内阁成员本尼·甘茨，这是与以色列官员就加沙战争进行广泛接触的持续努力的一部分。

 

这位白宫官员说，在会议期间，哈里斯预计将重申以色列在面临哈马斯威胁时的自卫权，以及达成人质协议的紧迫性。这位官员说，哈里斯和甘茨还计划讨论通过美国持续空投增加进入加沙的援助流量的迫切需要，并建设一条海上走廊直接通过海上运送援助。

这位官员说，在重申减少平民伤亡的必要性的同时，预计哈里斯将表达拜登政府对据报道在拉法市避难的150万人的安全的担忧。

 

这位官员说，在讨论正在进行的战争时，预计哈里斯和甘茨还将重点讨论“战斗结束后的第二天”，并计划最终重建加沙和巴勒斯坦权力机构，以便它可以管理统一的加沙和约旦河西岸，为“巴勒斯坦人民创造一个充满希望的政治前景”。

 

哈里斯此前在2022年慕尼黑安全会议上与甘茨会面。据白宫消息，国家安全顾问杰克·沙利文也将单独会见甘茨。

据报道，营养不良导致联合国儿童基金会加沙北部至少10名儿童死亡

 

一名联合国儿童基金会官员周日表示，据报道，最近几天至少有10名儿童在加沙北部的一家医院因脱水和营养不良死亡。

 

联合国儿童基金会中东和北非地区主任阿黛尔·霍德尔在一份声明中说，这些孩子是在卡迈勒·阿德万医院去世的。

Khodr在声明中说:“这些悲惨和可怕的死亡是人为的、可预测的和完全可以预防的。”“普遍缺乏营养食品、安全饮用水和医疗服务，这是联合国人道主义行动受阻和面临多重危险的直接后果，正在影响儿童和母亲，阻碍他们母乳喂养婴儿的能力，特别是在加沙地带北部。”

 

Khodr说，加沙北部和南部条件的差异“清楚地表明，北部的援助限制正在造成生命损失。”

 

霍尔德援引联合国儿童基金会和联合国世界粮食计划署1月份进行的营养不良筛查说，加沙北部两岁以下的儿童中有近16%，即六分之一严重营养不良。

 

Khodr说，在加沙南部进行的类似筛查发现，5%的两岁以下儿童严重营养不良。

 

Khodr说:“现在，我们担心的儿童死亡人数已经出现，而且可能会迅速增加，除非战争结束，人道主义救援的障碍立即得到解决。”

Israel-Gaza live updates: Harris to meet with Israeli war Cabinet member on Monday

 

More than four months since Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on Oct. 7, the Israeli military continues its bombardment of the neighboring Gaza Strip.

 

The conflict, now the deadliest between the warring sides since Israel's founding in 1948, shows no signs of letting up soon and the brief cease-fire that allowed for over 100 hostages to be freed from Gaza remains a distant memory.

 

Click here for updates from previous days.

The latest outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that governs the Gaza Strip, has passed the four-month mark.

 

In the Gaza Strip, at least 30,228 people have been killed and 71,377 others have been wounded by Israeli forces since Oct. 7, according to Gaza's Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health.

 

In Israel, at least 1,200 people have been killed and 6,900 others have been injured by Hamas and other Palestinian militants since Oct. 7, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

 

There has also been a surge in violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Israeli forces have killed at least 395 people in the territory since Oct. 7, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

 

The ongoing war began after Hamas-led militants launched an unprecedented incursion into southern Israel from neighboring Gaza via land, sea and air. Scores of people were killed while more than 200 others were taken hostage, according to Israeli authorities. The Israeli military subsequently launched retaliatory airstrikes followed by a ground invasion of Gaza, a 140-square-mile territory where more than 2 million Palestinians have lived under a blockade imposed by Israel and supported by Egypt since Hamas came to power in 2007. Gaza, unlike Israel, has no air raid sirens or bomb shelters.

An adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied the US airdrops of aid in Gaza are a sign the Biden administration has lost confidence in the Israeli government’s ability or willingness to get a grip on the humanitarian crisis there.

 

In an interview with ABC News on Sunday, Netanyahu advisor Ophir Falk said the U.S. airdrops on Saturday were "fully coordinated with Israel."

 

Falk pushed back on any suggestion Israel was not letting enough aid into Gaza while children were starving to death, saying Israel "is enabling thousands of trucks to get into Gaza."

 

Falk denied that people are dying of starvation in Gaza, despite a statement Sunday from a UNICEF official that at least 10 children have reportedly died of malnutrition recently at a northern Gaza hospital. Some doctors working in Gaza have also reported the deaths of children as a result of malnutrition.

 

Falk said "maybe tens of thousands" of aid trucks have gone into Gaza since the beginning of the war in October.

 

"No other country would do that," Falk said.

 

Israel has said it is trying to prevent aid from ending up in the hands of the Hamas terrorist organization.

 

"We have to verify it’s not being stolen by Hamas," Falk said, something he claimed is happening "on a daily basis."

Vice President Kamala Harris will meet with Israeli war Cabinet member Benny Gantz at the White House on Monday as part of an ongoing effort to engage with a wide range of Israeli officials on the war in Gaza, a White House official has confirmed to ABC News.

 

During the meeting, Harris is expected to reiterate Israel's right to defend itself in the face of threats by Hamas and the urgency of securing a hostage deal, the White House official said. Harris and Gantz are also planning to discuss the dire need to increase the aid flow into Gaza through continued U.S. airdrops and work on a maritime corridor to deliver aid directly by sea, according to the official.

While reiterating the need to reduce civilian casualties, Harris is expected to express the Biden administration's concern for the safety of the 1.5 million people reportedly taking shelter in the city of Rafah, the official said.

 

In their discussion of the ongoing war, Harris and Gantz are also expected to focus on "the day after the fighting ends" and plans to eventually rebuild Gaza and the Palestinian Authority so that it may govern a unified Gaza and West Bank in creating a "hopeful political horizon for the Palestinian people," the official said.

 

Harris previously met Gantz in 2022 at the Munich Security Conference. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan will also meet with Gantz separately, according to the White House.

At least 10 children have reportedly died in recent days from dehydration and malnutrition while at a hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, a UNICEF official said Sunday.

 

The children died at the Kamal Adwan Hospital, Adele Khodr, UNICEF's regional director for the Middle East and North Africa, said in a statement.

"These tragic and horrific deaths are man-made, predictable and entirely preventable," Khodr said in the statement. "The widespread lack of nutritious food, safe water and medical services, a direct consequence of the impediments to access and multiple dangers facing U.N. humanitarian operations, is impacting children and mothers, hindering their ability to breastfeed their babies, especially in the northern Gaza Strip."

 

Khodr said the disparity in conditions in Gaza's north and south "is clear evidence that aid restrictions in the north are costing lives."

 

Nearly 16% of children, or one in six, under the age of 2 in the northern Gaza Strip are acutely malnourished, said Khordr, citing malnutrition screenings in January by UNICEF and the U.N. World Food Program.

 

Khodr said similar screenings conducted in southern Gaza found that 5% of children under 2 are acutely malnourished.

 

"Now, the child deaths we feared are here and are likely to rapidly increase unless the war ends and obstacles to humanitarian relief are immediately resolved," Khodr said.

Khodr's statement came a day after the U.S. Department of Defense conducted its first combined humanitarian assistance airdrop across Gaza with the Royal Jordanian Air Force.

 

About one-quarter of Gaza's population -- 576,000 people -- are "one step away from famine" and facing a "grave situation," Ramesh Rajasingham, director of the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, said last week..
