2. Various STILLS of Palestinians, including children and women, queuing for donated food
STORYLINE:
Desperate Palestinians crowded a community kitchen in Jabaliya refugee camp on Monday to receive donated food.
Women and children were seen queuing to receive cooked food, as the first few aid trucks entered Gaza following nearly three months of Israel’s blockade of food, medicine and other supplies, Israel and the United Nations said.
Five trucks carrying baby food and other desperately needed aid entered the territory of over 2 million Palestinians via the Kerem Shalom crossing, according to the Israeli defense body in charge of coordinating aid to Gaza, COGAT.
The blockade prompted warnings from food experts of a risk of famine.
Criticism of Israel’s conduct intensified Monday when allies Canada, France and the United Kingdom threatened "concrete actions” against the country, including sanctions, and called on Israel to stop its “egregious” new military actions in Gaza.
Netanyahu rejected the criticism, saying it was “a huge prize” for Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack that would invite more such violence.
So far, just a handful of trucks have been sent into Gaza, which U.N. agencies say is nowhere near enough to meet the massive need.
Some 600 trucks a day had entered during a ceasefire earlier this year.
