Maxar Technologies, a provider of high-resolution satellite imagery, has released a series of images captured on November 26th that provide valuable insights into ongoing efforts to deliver food and supplies to Gaza during the current ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The images, which were shared with European Space Imaging (EUSI), highlight several key points of interest, including:
- Humanitarian aid trucks approaching the Egyptian border with Gaza. These trucks are carrying essential supplies, such as food, medicine, and water, to the besieged Gaza Strip.
- Crowds near gas and propane storage stations. Gazans are lining up to purchase these essential fuels, which are in high demand due to the ongoing blockade.
- Individuals walking along Gaza’s Salah al-Din road. This major thoroughfare is bustling with activity as Gazans go about their daily lives.
- Key hospitals in Gaza City. These facilities are providing critical care to Palestinians injured in the recent conflict.
- Additional aid supplies arriving at El Arish airport in Egypt for Gaza. These supplies are being transported to Gaza via the Rafah border crossing.
These images provide a stark reminder of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Despite the ceasefire, the Gaza Strip remains under blockade, and its residents continue to face severe shortages of food, fuel, and medicine. The international community must continue to provide humanitarian assistance to Gaza and work towards a lasting peace agreement that will allow for the lifting of the blockade.
