The cost of humanitarian aid for residents of the Gaza Strip is expected to increase significantly in the coming weeks.
Israel has opened the second of three water pipelines that supply water to residents of the Gaza Strip, said Colonel Elad Goren of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), The Times of Israel writes. About 28.5 million liters a day now flow through the enclave, up from about 49 million liters before the Hamas attack.
Gaza now has enough water supplied to meet basic humanitarian needs, Goren said. He believes that the inhabitants of the enclave “do not lack food or water.”
The IDF spokesman added that the amount of humanitarian aid for the Gaza Strip will increase significantly in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, Israeli troops advanced more than three kilometers into the northern Gaza Strip, CNN reported.
According to the publication, a video taken on Saturday shows soldiers planting an Israeli flag on the roof of a resort hotel in Gaza. CNN geolocated the video to an area just over three kilometers from the border between Gaza and Israel.
“Soldiers of the 52nd Battalion of the 401st Brigade are waving the Israeli flag in the middle of Gaza, on the beach… We will not forgive and we will not forget, and we will not stop until victory,” the soldier said in a video taken a few miles north of central Gaza City.
The Gaza Strip has been under a complete siege by order of the Israeli Defense Minister since October 9, following a brutal attack on Israel by Palestinian Hamas terrorists on October 7, which left an estimated 1,400 people dead. . About 220 more people were captured by the militants.
Recall that the United States sees an “increased risk” of conflict spreading in the Middle East, as groups supported by Iran continue to attack American troops stationed in the region.
