  • Oxfam’s Mahmoud al-Saqqa warns of critical food shortage, limited aid amid Israeli strikes on Gaza

    Oxfam’s Mahmoud al-Saqqa warns of critical food shortage, limited aid amid Israeli strikes on Gaza
    Oct 27 2024
    Oxfam's Gaza food security and livelihood leader, Mahmoud al-Saqqa, joined Al Jazeera from Deir el-Bala, discussing the escalating humanitarian crisis. Al-Saqqa outlined severe shortages of food, medicine, and essentials, worsened by Israeli bombardments and border closures. He highlighted that more than 90% of Gaza's population now faces acute food insecurity, and children are increasingly malnourished. Aid entry has been minimal, particularly into northern Gaza, where severe restrictions leave residents with few options but displacement. Al-Saqqa emphasised that humanitarian workers are risking their lives daily, calling for international action against the use of food as a weapon.

  • Iran’s Khamenei says ‘wrong’ to downplay Israel’s attack

    Iran’s Khamenei says ‘wrong’ to downplay Israel’s attack
    Oct 27 2024
    Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made his first comments about the “malignant” Israeli attack on Iran early Saturday in a meeting with the families of the four members of the armed forces who were killed. The Israelis try to make the impact of the strikes appear larger than reality, but any move inside Iran to make them appear smaller would also be “wrong”, he said. “It would be wrong for us to say that it was nothing and it did not matter,” Khamenei said. “The calculation error of the Zionist regime must be disrupted. They do not know Iran, its youth, its nation. They have not yet been able to fully comprehend the power, capabilities, initiative and will of the Iranian nation, we must make them understand it.” Khamenei also opened a Hebrew account on X after the Israeli strikes.

    New tragedies unfolding in northern Gaza as the day progresses: AJE correspondent
    Oct 27 2024
    Israeli forces have killed at least 45 people in two separate attacks on residential buildings in Beit Lahiya, in northern Gaza. Dozens more were wounded and Gaza's health ministry is calling one of the strikes a “horrific massacre.”

    And at least 40 people have either been killed or injured in an attack on Gaza City. Emergency workers and volunteers came to the scene of the attack on Saturday, after the Israeli military bombed a residential building.

    Al Jezeera’s Ibrahim Al Khalili went to the scene in Sheikh Radwan.

    Palestinians in northern Gaza are struggling to survive with little or no food and water. The Israeli army has been preventing the entry of humanitarian supplies for the past three weeks. The UN says it has blocked nearly half of all aid missions into the north, since the beginning of the month. It has accused the military of carrying out a systematic starvation campaign against Palestinians.

    Rosalia Bollen is from UNICEF, and is based in Gaza. She says the humanitarian crisis there has worsened, with extreme shortages of water, food and medical supplies.
