Crisis in the humanitarian sector and fighting
Israel’s war on Gaza, The Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza City has been under attack by Israeli warplanes, which have been reported to have caused explosions and gunfire near the Nasser Medical Complex. Israel has claimed responsibility for a number of Palestinian deaths in the Palestinian villages of Rafah and Deir el-Balah that occurred overnight.
Israeli war on Gaza appears to be grinding to a halt despite mediation efforts to end the conflict. It has been reported that Hamas representatives have informed the network that Israeli negotiators have rejected the latest ceasefire proposal.
A visit by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing, which is located in Gaza, has resulted in him calling again for an immediate cease-fire to relieve the humanitarian situation in Gaza. There would be even greater damage caused by any further onslaught – more destruction for Palestinian civilians, more destruction for hostages and more destruction for everyone in the region, which Guterres said.
It has been described as a moral outrage by Guterres that starvation gripped the besieged enclave. On the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing, Israel has imposed a restriction on the entry of trucks into the Strip – causing a backlog of trucks filled with supplies on the Egyptian side of the crossing.
