At the ICJ hearings, South Africa insisted that it seeks an order from the ICJ explicitly ordering Israel to cease its military activities🇵🇸 🇿🇦

🧵BREAKING: Today, on Nakba Day, we submitted to the UN the most thorough legal analysis of Israel's actions since Oct. 7, finding that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

#Nakba76

Nakba survivor Ouda Abu Haddaf draws parallels between 1948 and ongoing Gaza genocide: 'As I fled, leaving behind my home and means of livelihood, I was struck by memories of our displacement in 1948. I feared that I might never return to northern Gaza.'

Jabel Shaban, a survivor of the 1948 Nakba from Simsim village, who is now surviving the latest manifestation of the ongoing Nakba in #Gaza , told us, 'Today, at the age of 85, I still hold on to the hope of returning to my village, my home, and my land.'

Tomorrow marks Nakba Day.

But don't be misled: today is also Nakba Day, as it was yesterday and will be the day after tomorrow, because the Nakba is ongoing.

🚨 Hospitals in #Gaza are reporting that they will only function for a matter of hours due to fuel shortages after the Israeli military closed the #Rafah crossing.

The European Hospital has already run out of fuel and is in blackout.

Fuel and aid must be allowed in immediately.

Witnessing the excavation of mass graves at Al-Shifa, our colleague Tahani told Al Jazeera English:

“The dogs came to devour the bodies, and the smell was deadly. [This work] requires more capabilities and forensic experts, none of which are available in #Gaza .”

These photos are from today. Families and children, returning to UNRWA schools in Khan Younis to seek 'safety' and 'shelter'.

The classrooms are torched. Walls are blown out. There is rubble everywhere.

This situation is unfolding under the world's watch. Enough is enough.

🚨URGENT🚨

New evacuation order issued by the Israeli military in Rafah & Al-Shabura refugee camp signal growing expansion of the ground invasion. Over 1 million Palestinians' lives at stake. Immediate action is imperative to prevent further genocidal massacres.

#AllEyesOnRafah

Announcement on the cancellation of the event in commemoration of 76 years of ongoing Nakba.

Germany's Schengen-wide ban on Ghassan Abu Sitta, a genocide survivor & key witness to Israeli crimes, was upheld by the Netherlands. This de facto bars him from entering the country hosting the Int'l Criminal Court.

This sets a dangerous precedent. The ban must be lifted immediately.

Six months ago, we filed a joint communication to the Office of the Prosecutor of the Int'l Criminal Court, urging arrest warrants against Israeli leaders for genocide and incitement to genocide.

Today, our call echoes even stronger.

The beginning of the Rafah ground invasion stands as a testament to the failure of the international community to stop the ongoing genocide in Gaza and compel Israel to adhere to the ICJ provisional measures orders.

Less than 24h after evacuation orders, the Israeli army invaded eastern Rafah, leaving residents no time to flee.

Overnight, Israeli forces seized control of the Rafah crossing, halting movement for both people and goods.

Entry of humanitarian aid is halted.

#AllEyesOnRafah

This is what we said on 18 February.

Today, we echo it with even greater urgency:

'Mere statements won't stop the invasion of #Rafah . What's needed are concrete actions.'

Time is running out.

#AllEyesOnRafah

The evacuation order includes the areas of the Karem Abu Salem and Rafah crossings, the latter being the lifeline for 2+ million Palestinians in #Gaza .

The order also includes Abu Yousuf Najjar Hospital, the main medical facility in the whole Rafah Governorate.

#AllEyesOnRafah

The evacuation order in eastern Rafah is affecting hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, many of whom have already been displaced multiple times.

People have nowhere to go. Nowhere is safe in Gaza.

#AllEyesOnRafah

🚨URGENT: #AllEyesOnRafah 🚨

Israeli military orders evacuation in eastern Rafah, sparking fears of imminent ground invasion. Reports of residents in other Rafah areas receiving calls from Israeli army urging them to relocate.

Urgent action needed to prevent further atrocities.

Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh, Head of Orthopedics at Al-Shifa, one of Gaza's top surgeons who saved countless limbs in his career.

Abducted by Israeli forces from Al-Awda Hospital last December, he was killed in Ofer Prison on 19 April 2024. His body remains withheld.

We demand justice.
