60 days of war in Gaza have passed. Two months have passed since the image of Hamas militiamen entering kibbutz on the Israeli border with the Gaza Strip will shock the world. Hamas’ surprise siege of Israel has unleashed a real massacre in Gaza.

The balance after two months of war is devastating: 16,200 civilians killed or killed in the Strip as a result of the siege and the bombs, 7,112 of them children. In these 60 days, Israel has demolished up to 70% of all buildings in northern Gaza. The scale of destruction is greater than that caused by the Allied bombing of Dresden and other German cities during the Second World War, between 1943 and 1945.

Meanwhile, Israeli troops continue advancing through the southern Gaza Strip. Netanyahu’s Army is already surrounding the city of Khan Yunis, of great moral and strategic importance as it is the birthplace of the main Hamas leaders, and the place where, according to Israel, they could store a large part of their arsenal.

The Israeli prime minister has assured that his troops They have already managed to surround Yahya Sinwar’s home , the Hamas leader: “His house may not be his fortress and he can escape, but it is only a matter of time before we catch him,” he explained.

To try to stop this unprecedented humanitarian, political and social crisis this century, the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, has invoked Article 99 for the first time since his mandate began in 2017, by which he “may draw the attention of the Council to any issue that in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of peace and security in the world” and therefore demand that it address the war in Gaza.

Even the powers that have defended Israel’s right to defend have warned Netanyahu about the scope of the attacks. The spokesperson for the State Department of Joe Biden’s Government has assured that “in no case” will the United States support a reduction in the size of the Gaza Strip.

“Any border that is inside Gaza will be violating this principle,” said Matthew Miller, who He has assured that the US Government is strongly opposed to this.: “We are very clear that when it comes to reducing the size of Gaza, it is not something that the United States is going to support.”

The situation on the strip continues to be critical. Humanitarian aid enters in dribs and drabs through the Rafah crossingand the health and social situation is critical to the point that the Gazan authorities, controlled by the Islamist group, have warned that there are no longer operational hospitals in northern Gaza and the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA ) warned that the entire Strip “has become one of the most dangerous places in the world.”

On the other hand, the Gaza Ministry of Health has assured that the Kamal Adwan hospital, the last one that provided service in the north of the Strip, has stopped working due to lack of fuel, with ambulances unable to go out to pick up injured people. . More than one hundred bodies remain inside the hospital without being able to receive burial, as it is surrounded by Israeli forces that “They shoot everyone who moves inside“, according to this source.

Meanwhile, the mass exodus of Gazans towards Rafah, in southern Gaza, continues. A resident in Khan Yunis told EFE that They decided to risk escaping from “hell” despite the difficulty of fleeing: “We didn’t know which road was the safest.” The Arabic spokesman for the Israeli Army, Avichay Adraee, has already warned that travel along the Salah al-Din road is “extremely dangerous.” According to UNRWA, the situation “it’s getting worse by the minute” without there being a safe zone in Gaza, since it is practically impossible to find refuge in the entire Strip.

In addition, deaths also occur in the West Bank and clashes against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Until now, 472 Palestinians have died in the West Bank since the beginning of 2023, the bloodiest year since 2002; According to the Ministry of Health of the Palestinian National Authority, “all of them were shot dead by the Israeli Army.”

On another front, Israeli forces continue to bomb Hezbollah positions in Lebanon by ground and air, in response to attacks by the Lebanese Shiite group in northern Israel. Israeli tanks and artillery have attacked several positions in Lebanon and a military aircraft has destroyed Hezbollah’s “military infrastructure”, according to Israeli forces.
