Criticism has grown louder as Israeli air strikes have killed dozens of people in Gaza again

The health department of the Gaza Strip said that an Israeli air strike on Tuesday (May 20th) killed at least 50 Palestinians.

Despite the continuous pressure from the international community, demanding that Israel stop the attacks and allow aid supplies to enter Gaza, Israel still continues to bomb Gaza. According to medical workers in Gaza, the attacks targeted areas such as two houses (18 of the deceased were women and children) and a school that accommodates displaced families.

The Israeli military asked residents of the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis to evacuate to the coast on Monday to avoid "unprecedented attacks". So far, the Israeli military has not commented on this.

Reuters quoted medical workers as saying that Tuesday's air strikes targeted Khan Yunis and its northern regions, including Deir al-Balah, Nuseirat, Jabalia and Gaza City.

It is reported that with the intensification of military operations, the attacks by Israel in the past eight days have caused more than 500 deaths.

The Israeli military said Monday that it has allowed five aid trucks to enter Gaza after blocking food and other supplies for more than two months. However, the United Nations described this delivery as a drop in the bucket and far from meeting the actual needs of the people in Gaza. Twenty-two countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the United Kingdom, France and Germany, demanded on Monday that Israel immediately and fully resume humanitarian aid to Gaza.

The United Nations has long emphasized that Gaza, with a population of about 2.3 million, needs at least 500 truckloads of aid and commercial supplies every day. Throughout the war, trucks transporting aid supplies waited at the Gaza border for weeks or even months before they could enter.

The Houthi forces in Yemen have blocked the port of Haifa in Israel

Yemen's Houthi forces said on Monday (the 19th) that they would impose a maritime blockade on Israel's Haifa port in response to Israel's intensified attacks on Gaza. The Houthi said that the attacks on Israel would stop after the Israeli army ended its aggression against Gaza and lifted the blockade.

Yahya Saree, a spokesperson for the Houthi armed group, said in a television speech: "This is to inform all companies that have doced at or are about to sail to the port that as of the date of this statement, the port has been placed on the list of blockade targets."

The Houthi forces continue to fire missiles at Israel, including Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv. They claim that this move is in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza.

Jordan and Malta worked together to receive sick children from Gaza

Meanwhile, King Abdullah II of Jordan held talks with visiting Maltese Prime Minister Abella on Monday. Both sides said it was very important to coordinate efforts to receive sick children from the Gaza Strip for treatment in the two countries.

Xinhua News Agency quoted a statement from the Jordanian royal Palace as saying that King Abdullah II reaffirmed during the talks the need to end the Gaza War, ensure the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, and intensify efforts to ease regional tensions. Jordan is committed to working with partners to achieve peace and commends the role played by Malta in this regard.

The statement said that Abella appreciated Jordan's efforts in achieving regional stability and peace, as well as its important role in providing medical services for children in Gaza.

When King Abdullah II visited the United States in February this year, he announced that Jordan would receive 2,000 sick children from Gaza for treatment. The Jordanian armed forces withdrew two batches of sick children from the Gaza Strip in March and May to receive treatment in several hospitals in Jordan.
