Las agencias de la ONU pidieron este martes “inundar” de ayuda alimentaria la Franja de Gaza en forma inmediata y sin obstáculos para “evitar una hambruna masiva”. En tanto, el Ministerio de Salud local, en manos de Hamas, anunció que la guerra con Israel ya mató a más de 60.000 personas.

Israel anunció ceses parciales de los combates durante el día y autorizó la entrada de camiones con ayuda, pero organizaciones internacionales consideran que estos permisos son insuficientes fnte a las necesidades de la población, sometida a casi dos meses de bloqueo.

“Necesitamos inundar Gaza con ayuda alimentaria a gran escala, de forma inmediata y sin obstáculos, y mantenerla todos los días para evitar la hambruna masiva”, afirmó la directora del Programa Mundial de Alimentos (PMA), Cindy McCain, en una declaración conjunta con Unicef y la Organización de la ONU para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO).

Doce niños murieron en bombardeos israelíes, según la Defensa Civil palestina

Pese a la pausa de los combates, la Defensa Civil gazatí, controlada por el movimiento islámico, reportó este martes 30 muertos, incluidos 12 niños, en bombardeos israelíes durante la noche, en el campo de refugiados de Nuseirat, en el centro de Gaza.

“No escuchamos el ruido del misil y, de repente, la casa se desmoronó. Los cuerpos volaban y la gente gritaba”, contó entre las ruinas Um Saleh Badr, una mujer palestina. “No queremos ayuda, queremos estar en paz. No quiero ser la madre, la hermana o la esposa de un mártir”, dijo.

La Clasificación Integrada de la Seguridad Alimentaria (IPC), que cuenta con el respaldo de la ONU y varias organizaciones humanitarias, afirmó que la crisis en este territorio de 365 km2 donde viven cerca de dos millones de palestinos, alcanzó “un punto alarmante y mortal”.

“Más de 20.000 niños han sido atendidos por desnutrición aguda entre abril y mediados de julio” y los hospitales reportaron al menos 16 muertes de niños menores de cinco años desde el 17 de julio, agregó el informe de este organismo.

Israel acusa a Hamas de saquear la ayuda humanitaria: la reacción europea

La oficina del primer ministro israelí, Benjamin Netanyahu, acusó a Hamas de falsificar los balances y saquear la ayuda alimentaria.

“Ya permitimos que cada día entren en Gaza importantes cantidades de ayuda humanitaria (…) Por desgracia, Hamas (…) ha robado la ayuda destinada a la población, a menudo disparando contra palestinos”, declaró.

Por otra parte, el informe de IPC aseguró que el lanzamiento aéreo de víveres recientemente autorizado por Israel “no será suficiente para revertir la catástrofe humanitaria”.

Israel dijo que el lunes más de 200 camiones de ayuda fueron distribuidos por la ONU y agencias humanitarias. Además, otros 260 camiones fueron autorizados a cruzar a Gaza, cuatro tanques de la ONU trajeron combustible y 20 palés de ayuda fueron lanzados desde aviones jordanos y emiratíes, según la misma fuente.

Reino Unido realizó este martes sus primeros lanzamientos de ayuda “por valor de alrededor de medio millón de libras” (unos 667.000 dólares).

El primer ministro británico, Keir Starmer, declaró que su país reconocerá al Estado de Palestina en septiembre, a menos que Israel adopte diversas “medidas sustanciales” en Gaza, incluido el acuerdo de un alto el fuego.

Alemania, Francia y Reino Unido podrían enviar la próxima semana a sus ministros de Relaciones Exteriores a Israel, según anunció el jefe del gobierno alemán, Friedrich Merz.

“Partimos de la base de que el gobierno israelí está totalmente dispuesto a reconocer que ahora hay que actuar”, afirmó.

United States Customs and Border Patrol caught an alleged Tren de Aragua gang member during a traffic stop near Detroit Wednesday.

The traffic stop in Shelby Township by Maryville Station CBP officers was triggered by a fake license plate on a vehicle. CBP said the three people inside the car were all in the United States illegally, and one of them is Venezulean national Manuel Zavala-Lopez, an alleged Tren de Aragua gang member who entered the country during the Biden administration in May 2023 and was released, according to DHS. 

The group was named a foreign terrorist organization early on during President Donald Trump’s second term, along with MS-13. Some of those alleged members have been sent to the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador for detention.

FBI TAKES DOWN ANTI-TREN GANG MEMBERS IN LARGEST BUST YET IN VIOLENT MIGRANT TURF WAR

«Zavala-Lopez is a serial criminal who’s traveled across the U.S. committing violent crimes. He has an outstanding warrant for failure to appear on a felony assault charge in Denver, Colorado. He has also been charged with robbery resulting in physical injury, criminal possession of a weapon intent to use, assault, possession of stolen property and petty larceny in New York,» DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. 

«Thanks to our brave law enforcement, he is off the streets and will no longer be able to terrorize American citizens. He will remain in ICE custody pending removal.»

«The arrest of this Tren de Aragua gang member, who has a history of firearms and other criminal charges and was wanted on an active warrant out of Denver, Colorado, for failure to appear, removes another dangerous criminal illegal alien from our country and enhances public safety,» Detroit Sector Chief Patrol Agent John R. Morris said in a statement.

«This marks the second arrest of a gang member from a foreign terrorist organization this month and underscores the relentless efforts of our agents and law enforcement partners. These cases highlight the critical value of interagency cooperation in removing these criminal threats from our communities,» Morris added.

The 30-year-old, who is not named but had his mugshot disclosed by the agency, was previously charged with violent robbery as well as weapons and immigration violations, according to a news release.

«This Tren de Aragua gang member, who had no business being in our country, let alone roaming the streets of Shelby Township, serves as our department’s commitment to keeping our community safe and getting dangerous individuals like this out of our community,» Lt. Mark Benedettini of the Shelby Township Police Department told Fox News Digital in an email.

Traffic stops are considered a major aspect of border and immigration enforcement, and people and drugs are often caught as a result. 

Two Salvadoran nationals in the country illegally were also arrested by CBP in Detroit earlier this month, the agency announced July 10.

Border Patrol agents responded after a call for extra help during an «altercation» at a motel in Sterling Heights.

One of the men «admitted» to being a member of MS-13 and said he previously served 20 years behind bars in the Central American country for killing someone from a rival gang.

The United Kingdom will recognize a Palestinian state if Israel does not agree to a ceasefire and move toward peace in Gaza by September, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned Tuesday.

Starmer made the announcement during a press conference on Tuesday, just a day after meeting with President Donald Trump in Scotland and discussing the Israel-Hamas war and the hunger crisis in Gaza.

«I can confirm that the U.K. will recognize the State of Palestine by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September, unless the Israeli government take substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a ceasefire and commit to a long-term sustainable peace, reviving the prospect of a two-state solution,» Starmer told reporters. «This includes allowing the U.N. to restart the supply of aid and making clear there will be no annexations in the West Bank.»

«Meanwhile, our message to the terrorists of Hamas is unchanged and unequivocal. They must immediately release all the hostages. Sign up to a ceasefire, disarm and accept that they will play no part in the government of Gaza,» he continued.

Trump declined to endorse Starmer’s move in a statement to reporters aboard Air Force One. He noted that both Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have now moved toward recognizing a Palestinian state.

«Essentially, they’re saying the same thing and that’s okay. But you know it doesn’t mean I have to agree,» Trump said.

Starmer said his government will make a final assessment ahead of the UNGA meeting to determine what steps both Israel and Hamas have taken and make a final decision on recognizing a Palestinian state.

The U.K. leader went on to say that the primary motive behind the announcement is to change the situation on the ground in Gaza as well as facilitate the release of more hostages.

Israel’s foreign ministry rejected Starmer’s announcement in a countering statement on Tuesday.

«The shift in the British government’s position at this time, following the French move and internal political pressures, constitutes a reward for Hamas and harms efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and a framework for the release of hostages,» the ministry said.

HAMAS LOSING IRON GRIP ON GAZA AS US-BACKED GROUP GETS AID TO PALESTINIANS IN NEED

The U.K.’s announcement comes just one day after Starmer met with Trump in Turnberry, Scotland, where both leaders condemned the humanitarian and hunger crisis in Gaza.

Trump publicly broke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the meeting, saying he disagreed that the hunger crisis is a false narrative put forward by Hamas.

«Based on television, I would say not particularly, because those children look very hungry,» Trump said when asked if he agreed with Netanyahu’s claims. «That’s real starvation stuff.»

Trump has highlighted America’s efforts to secure aid for Gaza, noting some $60 million the U.S. spent on the issue in recent days.

«We gave $60 million two weeks ago for food for Gaza, and nobody acknowledged it. Nobody talks about it. And it makes you feel a little bad when you do that,» Trump said during a Sunday meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. «And, you know, you have other countries not giving anything. None of the European countries, by the way, gave – I mean, nobody gave but us and nobody said, gee, thank you very much. And it would be nice to have at least a thank you.»

Israel has begun conducting aid drops across Gaza in recent days, bending to pressure after months of restricting the flow of aid. The IDF had long said Hamas was stealing much of the resources being sent into the region, a statement Trump and the U.S. have echoed.
