Israeli operation means truce negotiations cannot progress, says Sheikh Mohammed, as estimated 500,000 flee after evacuation order
Israel deepens offensive in Rafah and re-enters northern areas of Gaza‘Total outrage’: White House condemns Israeli settlers’ attack on Gaza aid trucks
One of ActionAid’s partners in Rafah has paused humanitarian operations there, with the charity warning that aid operations could grind to a “complete halt” as aid workers face an “unprecedented” level of danger making their jobs become “impossible”.
The charity says that aid workers in Rafah are “experiencing the same inhumane living conditions as the rest of the population” and that “virtually no aid” has entered Gaza in recent days despite the deepening humanitarian crisis across the enclave.
Due to fuel shortages and severe security constraints, our aid delivery services in Rafah are temporarily paused. Our partners have received multiple evacuation orders in the past few days, and the ongoing bombardment on Rafah is making it impossible for them to distribute aid safely within Rafah.
The obligation of conflicting parties is not only to ensure that aid gets through the borders but also to reach people inside Gaza.
