According to Al-Mamlaka TV, the Israeli army
announced that it targeted 400 sites belonging to Palestinian resistance groups
in Gaza, killing a number of them in the past 24 hours.
Health officials in Gaza reported that around
200 Palestinians have been killed since the end of the humanitarian ceasefire
on Friday morning.
During the 0in Dubai, Mardini said, "we do not have precise reports, but
what I can say is that the resumption of fighting has been intense once
again."
He added, "This is a new layer of
disruption on top of the unprecedented destruction of vital infrastructure,
civilian homes, and residential neighborhoods," warning that violence
would make it difficult to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Mardini described Gaza as being in a state of
"chaos and rubble," stating that the International Committee of the
Red Cross has 130 staff members working there.
He mentioned that the people of Gaza
"live in constant fear of death from violence" and face difficulty
staying alive due to the shortage of food and water caused by the fighting,
while hospitals operate with limited resources.
He concluded, "Everything in Gaza has
reached a breaking point."
