The #Rafah crossing is a lifeline for civilians in #Gaza .
Ten days ago the Israeli military took control of the crossing; since then no medical evacuations, aid or aid workers have been able to cross.
We have 17 Medical Aid for Palestinians trucks of aid waiting to enter #Gaza .

“Netanyahu has learnt over the last 7 months, maybe over the last 7 decades that he can cross every red line. The U.S., Uk, Europe, the rest of world, UN, ICJ, ICC, Secy Council—name it, he doesn’t care. Simply because he won’t get the serious consequences”—tells me Husam Zomlot

“Last night we were woken up by the thunderous sound of bombing nearby…
The atmosphere is gripped with fear. The staff here are very worried about their lives. They think there will be a repeat of Al-Shifa in this hospital,” Dr. Mohammed Tahir—Gaza European hospital in Rafah

Just spoke with NRC colleagues in Rafah:
the IDF assault is intensifying with continuous, massive explosions. There is no fuel, transportation, nor safe evacuation areas for most of the remaining 1,2 million civilians. Israel and Hamas must end these horrors with a ceasefire deal

'They stripped them down of anything that resembles human beings.'

“The question is: can Pres Biden sustain a standoff with the Israeli PM? I think PM Netanyahu, & we’ve seen this in the last 24 hrs, has been saying ‘I’m going to test you’. Pres Biden has cornered himself…& now if he pulls back, he will look weak.” Daniel Levy👇🏻 US/Middle East Project

“We saw a lot of strikes over the last 24 hrs in downtown Rafah which is a couple of miles to the west of the declared evacuation zone, so bombardments going way beyond the evacuation zone…people are fearful, helpless & living in the most humiliating & degrading conditions” 👇🏻

“Finally” tells me Jan Egeland reacting to the U.S. decision to pause a shipment of bombs to Israel “How on earth could the US, our closest ally in NATO, provide indiscriminate 2.000 pound bombs to an indiscriminate military campaign in a place filled with women & children?”

The last refuge is Rafah…& now to plough through this with a war machine would be a stain on the conscience not only of Israel but on the U.S., Germany and the other countries that have provided the arms for this attack” tells me Jan Egeland

Biden tells CNN he won't send weapons to Israel if they launch a major invasion of Rafah. It's the first time he's publicly put conditions on aid.

Hostage talks on brink.. Gaza on edge

“I cannot believe that there is anywhere else in the world where a journalist loses their home, doesn’t know where their next meal is coming from…& they still go to work. I think the courage & commitment of the journalists in Gaza has been extraordinary” tells me Jon Williams

This year’s World Press Freedom Day is a particularly sombre one. The Israel-Gaza war has taken a severe toll on journalists in Gaza, many struggling and dying to tell the story. Today, we remember the 97 journalists who have been killed since the war began. #WPFD2024
