The regimes forces also launched strikes on the southern. Cities of rafa and khan unis, the death toll from the israeli onslot on gaza since october the 7th has now surpassed 30,200, more than 71,300 have also been injured. Condemnations are pouring in from all over the world against the latest Israeli Massacre of innocent palestinian scrambling for life saving eight in the north of gaza. For having sake put an end to killing civilians, children, women, according to the information that we have, dozens of them have bullets in their heads, it was intentionally targeting and killing, and the number that we have now is 112 have been killed, and the number is increasing, and 750 injured, and possibly the number, would be increasing, this outrageous, you know, uh, massacre is testimony to the fact that as long as the Security Council is paralyzed and vetos casted, then it is coasting the Palestinian People their lives. The secretary general condemns the incident today, northern gaza, in which more than 100 people were reportedly killed or injured while seeking life saving aid. We have always condemned. France has also uh reacted to the heinous massacre with the countrys ambassador to the un saying civilians and civilian infrastructure should never be targeted. China has also strongly condemned the gaza aid delivery deaths, meanwhile the Iranian Foreign ministry in a statement said the wounds of gaza will not be erased from the memory of the worlds free people.

In northern gaza, our correspondent has talked to some of the palestinians in dear albalo about the ceasefires conditions. This proposal is null and meaningless to me. Im married and have kids, i cant let them go back to gaza while i am still here. We prefer to die here rather than accepting this proposal. We demand a permanent cease fire that guarantees our full return to our residential areas in gaza. Undoubtedly, its another pressure exerted on the palestinian resistance. This is another pressure practice against us. They know that the displaced families are not going to accept it. No one accepts to abandon the rest of his family and go back without them. They propose it just to blackmail us. I wont accept going back to gaza without my husband and my mother wont accept that return without my brothers. We fled our homes in gaza together and we will return together. Its impossible to accept such thing, our men raise our kids day by day until they grow up, we spent these horrific days worrying about our children and young men, we escaped the killing in gaza to protect them, we cant leave them and get back, we leave together or we die together, no one would accept it, its unnegotiable, we are still steadfast until we go back in dignity, its definitely rejected. In this place from gaza for the sake of our children safety, they killed thousands of our children and our men, and they destroyed our homes and buildings, but now they propose us to go back without our sons and men. No rational human being would agree on this. This proposal means that israel is procrastinating and it dogs having a real deal. Netan yahu is a war criminal and he wants to prolong this war against us. Firstly, this proposal is completely rejected. Its a continuation of the expulsion that took place at the beginning of this war in gaza. They want to separate the families and increase their suffering. They want the women and children to go to gaza while keeping the men here so they can target them any moment. Under any pretext, this is another way that Israel Occupation progress in it, putting the cies fire deal in place in order to continue its genicide in gaza.
