The spokesperson for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Jason Straziuso, stated that Israel’s attacks on the city of Rafah have further exacerbated the humanitarian situation, saying, ‘The situation of food, water, and medical supplies is critical. If this continues, we are heading towards even more disastrous consequences than what we are currently witnessing.’

International Aid Being Blocked

As Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip continues unabated, the humanitarian situation in the region is deteriorating. Many European countries, including the United States, are supporting the war crimes committed by the Israeli army, preventing the entry of food, medical supplies, fuel, and other humanitarian needs into the region.

Difficulty in Accessing Aid

Following the closure of crossings, Straziuso mentioned that they frequently request access permits for humanitarian aid materials from Israeli authorities, stating, ‘Israeli officials know that we are desperate to bring in more supply trucks waiting to cross the border. Discussions are ongoing for not targeting civilians, buildings, schools, and medical facilities, and these discussions have been ongoing for months.’
