Serious repercussions on the humanitarian situation and the agreement between the two parties

Israel refuses to allow heavy equipment and trucks to remove rubble in first phase

And prevents the entry of Turkish aid into the Gaza Strip...

Informed sources revealed to Al-Quds that the Israeli occupation army received clear instructions from the political level not to bring any aid provided by Turkey into the Gaza Strip. The sources also confirmed that the instructions include not bringing in bulldozers, trucks and cranes needed to remove the rubble in the first phase, which increases the suffering of the displaced.

deteriorating humanitarian situation

These policies are exacerbating the humanitarian situation in Gaza, where displaced people are suffering from severe shortages of basic necessities such as food, water and health care. The situation in Gaza requires an urgent response from the international community to alleviate the suffering.

According to the sources, the occupation authorities are violating the agreement signed through Egyptian and Qatari mediators, which stipulates the entry of heavy equipment needed to remove rubble, such as bulldozers, trucks and cranes, from the Rafah crossing into the Gaza Strip. This refusal is hampering efforts to remove rubble resulting from the widespread destruction caused by Israeli military attacks, which destroyed more than 80% of citizens’ homes in the Gaza Strip.

The impact of rejection on the displaced

This unjustified Israeli refusal affects the lives of thousands of Palestinian families who are still displaced, as they cannot return to their homes due to the rubble and destruction. The lack of equipment to remove the rubble hinders the reconstruction process and increases the suffering of the residents who lost their homes.

Rejection of Turkish aid

Regarding the humanitarian aid provided by the Turkish government, sources confirmed that the Israeli government also refuses to allow the entry of Turkish aid intended for the displaced residents of the Gaza Strip. This aid includes essential food and relief supplies, which further exacerbates the humanitarian situation in the Strip.

Humanitarian implications

These policies contribute to the exacerbation of the humanitarian crises, as the displaced suffer from severe shortages of basic materials. The cold weather conditions and heavy rains further aggravate the situation. The deteriorating humanitarian situation requires an immediate response from the international community to pressure the Israeli occupation to allow the entry of humanitarian equipment and aid.

The impact of rejection on negotiations with Hamas

This refusal complicates the agreements with Hamas, which accuses Israel of deliberately delaying essential humanitarian aid. The displaced are suffering from severe shortages of shelter, food and health care, which increases the psychological and social pressures on the population.

This negligence also affects the lives of thousands of Gazans and contributes to the spread of diseases and the increase in poverty and unemployment rates. The occupation’s denial of the agreement complicates the negotiations that are still in their early stages, as the refusal to allow the entry of aid and equipment negatively affects the negotiations between the Israeli occupation and Hamas.

Calls for international pressure

In this context, Hamas, through its spokesman, Hazem Qassem, confirmed that Israel is deliberately delaying and obstructing the entry of the most important requirements of tents and fuel. Hamas also called on mediators via its official Telegram page to address the defect in implementing the humanitarian protocol in the Gaza agreement.

UN Statements

UNICEF spokeswoman Tess Ingram said the aid being brought in was "a drop in the ocean of needs" in Gaza. She stressed the need to lift restrictions on aid trucks entering the Strip, noting that the humanitarian situation remains dangerous for children despite the ceasefire.

Displaced persons movement

The United Nations revealed that more than 545,000 Palestinians crossed from southern Gaza to northern Gaza during the past week, since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect. UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric also reported that more than 36,000 people moved from northern Gaza to the south during the same period, and they need everything, especially heavy equipment to remove rubble, open roads and recover bodies from under the rubble.

Future steps

In the same context, military circles and Hebrew media outlets warned against the entry of heavy Egyptian bulldozers on their way to the Rafah crossing in order to help remove the rubble and debris left by the war on Gaza. Channel 10 of Israeli television explained that within the framework of the Israeli surrender deal, Hamas is expected to receive five heavy equipment for the first time that will be brought into Gaza via Egypt.

Military circles and Hebrew media outlets warned against the entry of heavy Egyptian bulldozers on their way to enter the Rafah crossing in order to help remove the rubble and debris left behind by the war on Gaza.

Channel 10 of Israeli television said in a report titled: "Shovels from the model that destroyed the fence on October 7 will rebuild the Gaza Strip" that within the framework of the Israeli surrender deal, Hamas is expected to receive five heavy pieces for the first time that will be brought into Gaza via Egypt.

Egypt explained that these bulldozers will be operated by an Egyptian team that will enter the sector and provide the sector with the necessary equipment to remove the rubble.

An official Palestinian source in the Gaza Strip said that, according to the agreement signed with the mediators, five heavy bulldozers are expected to enter the Gaza Strip for the first time, to help lift the huge buildings and concrete piled up in many areas, especially in the northern Gaza Strip.

According to a report broadcast by Elior Levy on Kan 11, the aim of this move is to remove rubble and repair roads as part of the efforts to rebuild the Gaza Strip.

An Israeli official said: "The heavy trucks were supposed to enter in the first stage and be actually transferred to Gaza, but they will be operated by an Egyptian team that will enter and exit the Strip daily." But the Israeli government changed its position.

The humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip requires an urgent response from the international community to pressure the Israeli occupation to allow the entry of aid from all countries, including Turkey, and heavy equipment needed to remove the rubble as soon as possible. The continuation of these Israeli policies will exacerbate the humanitarian crises and increase the suffering of the population in the devastated Strip.
