The occupation doesn’t want the return of the hostages except in coffins, says Hamas officials, adding this is because the Israeli regime is not interested in any peace talks but wants the war on Gaza, which is now in its nine month, to continue.

The two deaths mean the number of hostages held by Hamas goes down to 118 and this is not the first time Israeli warplanes targeted its own hostages.

The attacks also affected the interests of 29 mega energy and cargo companies because of the needed rerouting from the Yemen’s Bab El Mandeb, to going around the Cope of Good Hope on the tip of Southern Africa.

The satellite channel pointed out 19 ships were damaged by such attacks between November 2023 till last March.

And today, the Houthi attacks continue and are seen as a major security challenge to world trade and free shipping. But the Houthis have also maintained that from the start, they would only target ships bound for Eilat and other Israeli ports.

Since the attacks started however, 100s of ships have been diverted from the narrow Bab El Mandeb on the corner tip of Yemen to the Cape of Good Hope which has tremendously affected global trade.

“The reality on the ground is more difficult than the image” says Anas Al Sharif.

Starvation is hitting north Gaza in a new and vicious manner, he points out as he films starving children and women.

“Three-year-old Amjad Al Qanouh suffers from acute malnutrition because the Israeli occupation army has banned humanitarian aid from entering north Gaza”

Truth be told, the ban has always been enforced, ever since since Israel waged war on the enclave after 7 October, 2023.

Our bodies are collapsing under the weight of hunger and thirst while our minds tire by wounds that do not end while the sun beats down on us with mercy with disease festering like fire spreading among us with missiles, bombs, rockets rain down on us for the last 250 days of aggression.We ask God only for patience and speedy relief, writes Al Sharif.

Gaza is being intentionally punished with its people starved and the worst is in the north of the enclave. Although the situation is bad everywhere.

This is a war against children UNICEF spokesman Michael Elder says. What is needed is a ceasefire to stop the killing, starvation and devastation of Gaza.

“…so much suffering has been inflicted on Gaza. The intentions must surely, be clear, the absolute devastation of Gaza – indeed, its aleady happened, homes, hospitals, schools, universities, agriculture, the economy, devastated. And still the bombs fall. But the many, many thousands of killed children is ample evidence of what UNIICEF deemed months ago, to be a “war on children”. There is and there only has been one solution to this, to end this suffering and that is a ceasefire…”

Israel will not stop in its genocide of Gaza. The children, women, men and old people shouldn’t be forgotten. Their names should be imprinted on every wall and website as a reminder of the heinous Israeli war crimes egged on by their western supporter states on top of which is the USA.
