The Logistics Cluster is liaising with relevant authorities to ease bottlenecks and investigate possible solutions. The Tarqumia crossing from the West Bank into Israel is also experiencing delays in cargo processing due to the increasing number of trucks and complex security procedures. The Logistics Cluster is requesting a list of sector cargo priorities for the Gaza humanitarian response in the case that not all cargo requests can be delivered in a timely manner due to the security crossing process. Negotiations regarding humanitarian access through the Rafah crossing from Egypt to the Gaza Strip are developing. Possible coordination with the Egyptian Red Crescent Society to send shipments from Egypt into the Gaza Strip may begin next week.

  • The Origins of Hamas: Militant Legacy Or Israeli Tool?
    THE ORIGINS OF HAMAS: MILITANT LEGACY OR ISRAELI TOOL? JEAN-PIERRE FILIU Since its creation in 1987, Hamas has been at the forefront of armed resistance in the occupied Palestinian territories. While the move- ment itself claims an unbroken militancy in Palestine dating back to 1935, others credit post-1967 maneuvers of Israeli Intelligence for its establishment. This article, in assessing these opposing nar- ratives and offering its own interpretation, delves into the historical foundations of Hamas starting with the establishment in 1946 of the Gaza branch of the Muslim Brotherhood (the mother organization) and ending with its emergence as a distinct entity at the outbreak of the !rst intifada. Particular emphasis is given to the Brotherhood’s pre-1987 record of militancy in the Strip, and on the complicated and intertwining relationship between the Brotherhood and Fatah. HAMAS,1 FOUNDED IN the Gaza Strip in December 1987, has been the sub- ject of numerous studies, articles, and analyses,2 particularly since its victory in the Palestinian legislative elections of January 2006 and its takeover of Gaza in June 2007. Yet despite this, little academic atten- tion has been paid to the historical foundations of the movement, which grew out of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Gaza branch established in 1946. Meanwhile, two contradictory interpretations of the movement’s origins are in wide circulation. The !rst portrays Hamas as heir to a militant lineage, rigorously inde- pendent of all Arab regimes, including Egypt, and harking back to ‘Izz al-Din al-Qassam,3 a Syrian cleric killed in 1935 while !ghting the British in Palestine.

    Palestine Situation Report June 7, 2021 Background The immediate background to the current period of violence is summarized in Anera’s last Situation Report (May 24). Ongoing updates may be found on our Updates on the Crisis in Palestine blog. Overview As of June 7, 29 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, including four children, and an additional 6,309 people have been injured. In East Jerusalem, at least one Palestinian has been killed, and 1,011 people have been injured.1 In Gaza, no serious incidents have been reported since the ceasefire began on May 21st. During the 11-day conflict, 256 Palestinians were killed, including 66 children. According to UNOCHA, 8,500 Palestinians in Gaza remain internally displaced and are staying either with host families or in two UNRWA schools. Nearly 2,000 Palestinians in Gaza were injured during the 11-day conflict, including 600 children, some of whom will suffer from long term disabilities that require medical rehabilitation.2 As protests and confrontations continue across the West Bank, a substantial number of injuries have been treated, and there is growing concern about the number of live ammunition injuries, as it further threatens the security of medical staff attempting to reach those in need of medical services. The medical staff of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and the Palestine Medical Relief Society, two of Anera’s major partners, constitute some of the key medical staff responding to injuries coming from incidents on the ground. At least 41 health care workers have been injured in the West Bank, and 21 medical service vehicles have been damaged or confiscated.

The Israeli offensive came in response to markedly increased Palestinian rocket fire following the expiration of a six-month cease-fire on December 19. On January 3, 2009, Israel began a ground offensive into Gaza. Despite international pressure to halt the fighting (including the passage of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1860 on January 8), the conflict continued until January 18, when Israel unilaterally ceased fire and Hamas followed suit shortly thereafter. Israel’s technological superiority and reliance on heavy armor and firepower contributed to a wide disparity in casualties—approximately 1,440 Palestinians have died (with some organizations estimating that at least half of the dead are civilians), compared with 13 dead (including four civilians) on the Israeli side.

  • Bad to Worse in Gaza City - By: Alisha Hawley 1
    Bad to Worse in Gaza City - By: Alisha Hawley 1 It is clear to see the many tragedies that are currently Bad to Worse in Gaza City taking place within Gaza City, as well as many other cities and towns like it. Though this suffering is also found in By: Alisha Hawley Israel especially in its agricultural areas, it is drastically different in Gaza. Why is this? Israel is allied with the 06/01/2021 US, and its US-funded “Iron Dome defense system” protects them from a good majority of the rockets. Is American funding just protecting civilian lives, or is it also encouraging the continuation of a tragic war? The Palestinian Legislative Organization building in Gaza City which was destroyed in 2009 By: Alisha Hawley The recent conflict in the Gaza Strip between the Hamas and Israeli forces has taken a deep toll on both sides, but there have been some islands of sanctuary. One of these islands was a neighborhood in Gaza City, one that has never been bombed before. Using the concept of place is helpful in understanding the current terror taking place there. The concept of place offers a greater understanding of the true tragedies that happen as a result of this war. Just as you gain a better sense of a plant’s structure by observing the area it resides in, you can gain a better understanding of a conflict and the people who are a part of it by understanding their surroundings. Place refers to the environment in which an individual lives, like a neighborhood, village, or town.
