##以军持续空袭加沙，联合国官员：加沙人在等待死亡
**中新网8月22日电** 综合外媒报道，当地时间21日，以军与巴勒斯坦武装组织在加沙地带的冲突持续升级，以军表示当天对巴勒斯坦武装组织在加沙地带的30个目标进行了空袭，包括军事建筑、火箭弹发射阵地、观察哨等。巴勒斯坦紧急服务部门称，以色列军队袭击了加沙的一所学校和附近的一所房屋，造成至少4人死亡，15人受伤。
面对持续不断的空袭和停火谈判陷入僵局，联合国官员发出警告，直言“加沙人在等待死亡”。
联合国近东巴勒斯坦难民救济和工程处（近东救济工程处）发言人路易丝·瓦特里奇表示，过去两周，她在加沙目睹了战火所带来的人道主义危机，人们对死亡的恐惧以及疾病的蔓延。
“加沙地带没有任何地方是安全的，绝对没有任何地方是安全的。这绝对是毁灭性的，”沃特里奇在加沙中部的努赛赖特地区说道，该地区经常遭受以色列空袭。“感觉就像人们在等待死亡。在这种情况下，似乎死亡才是唯一确定的事情。”
据巴勒斯坦加沙地带卫生部门21日数据显示，2023年10月新一轮巴以冲突爆发以来，以色列在加沙地带的军事行动已造成超过4万巴勒斯坦人死亡、近9.3万人受伤。
以色列国防部长加兰特当地时间21日称，以军已击溃巴勒斯坦伊斯兰抵抗运动（哈马斯）在加沙地带南部的拉法旅，并摧毁拉法地区150多条地下隧道。
然而，以军的行动并未得到国际社会的普遍认可。联合国官员和人权组织纷纷谴责以色列对加沙的持续空袭，呼吁以军立即停止攻击，并允许人道主义援助进入加沙。
联合国秘书长古特雷斯表示，加沙的局势令人担忧，他呼吁各方立即停火，并强调必须保护平民。
国际社会普遍认为，持续的暴力冲突只会加剧人道主义危机，并导致更多无辜平民伤亡。各方应尽快推动停火谈判，寻求和平解决巴以冲突的方案。

**GAZA CITY, Aug. 22 (Xinhua)** — The conflict between Israel and Palestinian armed groups in the Gaza Strip escalated on Monday, with Israeli forces carryingout airstrikes on 30 targets in the territory, including military buildings, rocket launching sites, and observation posts. Palestinian emergency services reported that Israeli forces attackeda school and a nearby house in Gaza, killing at least four people and injuring 15.
Amidst the relentless airstrikes and a stalled ceasefire negotiation, a UN official issued a stark warning, stating that “people in Gaza areawaiting death.”
Louise Watrich, spokesperson for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), said she had witnessed the humanitarian crisis brought about by the war in Gaza over the past two weeks, including people’s fear of death and the spread of disease.
“There is nowhere safe in the Gaza Strip, absolutely nowhere safe. This is absolutely devastating,” Watrich said in the Nuseirat area of central Gaza, a region frequently targeted by Israeli airstrikes. “It feels like people are waiting todie. In this situation, it seems like death is the only certainty.”
According to data released by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza on Monday, over 40,000 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 93,000 injured in Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip since the latestround of conflict began in October 2023.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant claimed on Monday that the Israeli military had crushed the Hamas’s Rafah Brigade in southern Gaza and destroyed over 150 underground tunnels in the Rafah area.
However, Israel’s actions have not beenuniversally accepted by the international community. UN officials and human rights organizations have condemned Israel’s continued airstrikes on Gaza, calling for an immediate halt to the attacks and allowing humanitarian aid to enter the territory.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed concern over the situation in Gaza, calling for an immediate ceasefire and emphasizingthe need to protect civilians.
The international community widely believes that the ongoing violence will only exacerbate the humanitarian crisis and lead to more civilian casualties. All parties should work towards a ceasefire negotiation as soon as possible and seek a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
