Photograph: Samar Abu Elouf/New York TimesThe International Committee of the Red Cross said a humanitarian convoy came under fire in Gaza City on Tuesday but was able to deliver medical supplies to Al Shifa hospital.
The ICRC, a neutral organisation based in Geneva, has escorted patients and transported freed hostages out of Gaza.“I swear we are waiting for death. It will be better than living. We are waiting for death at each moment. It’s a suspended death,” said Abu Jihad, a middle-aged resident of Khan Younis in the south of the tiny, densely populated territory.
In Khan Younis and Rafah, two separate strikes on homes killed 23 people overnight, health officials said on Tuesday. A young girl had survived but was trapped by a slab of concrete that had fallen on her legs. A group of men were using their bare hands to try to free her as an anxious crowd stood outside, calling out encouragements to the rescuers.
