They face the dangers of death, injury, and the collapse of essential infrastructure due to ongoing conflict situations. 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸𝘀: • Potential Military Actions: The possible incursion into Rafah could exacerbate an already disastrous humanitarian situation 🚩🚩🚩 • Humanitarian Challenges: Hospitals are under-supplied and overwhelmed, with severe restrictions on access to vital services. Even accessing aid has become perilous 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗰𝘆: • The Rafah military incursion is not inevitable • The Protection Cluster for the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the Global Protection Cluster emphasize that the protection of civilians, including children, must remain the highest priority • We advocate for an immediate and permanent ceasefire as the only viable solution to prevent further suffering and casualties among Gaza's civilians. 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: • According to international humanitarian law and directives from the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the government of Israel must implement strategies that minimize civilian harm, including to children. • We urge an immediate halt to attacks on Rafah and other areas where civilians are most vulnerable 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: • We demand a significant increase in humanitarian access to Gaza, especially through land crossings, to ensure aid can reach those in desperate need throughout the Strip. #ChildProtection For further details, please read our full statement here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eZvFhB6Z

In a shocking display of brazen contempt, Israeli soldiers have been seen boasting about stealing humanitarian aid intended for Gaza, openly mocking the United Nations and the international community's efforts to provide relief to the beleaguered region. Videos and photos circulating on social media reveal soldiers flaunting stolen aid supplies, a move that has sparked outrage and condemnation worldwide. The stolen aid, meant to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian civilians amidst the ongoing conflict, includes vital supplies such as food, water, and medical equipment. These actions not only exacerbate the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza but also demonstrate a flagrant disregard for international law and human rights. The soldiers' mockery of the UN and other humanitarian organizations adds a disturbing layer to the situation. By openly deriding these institutions, they undermine the global efforts to address the crisis and provide essential support to those in desperate need. This behavior highlights the urgent need for stronger international intervention and accountability to ensure that aid reaches its intended recipients without obstruction. #InternationalJustice #HumanRights #OccupiedTerritories #IsraelPalestine #Accountability #FreePalestine #GazaUnderAttack #StoptheGenocide #BreaktheSilence #PalestinianLivesMatter #EndIsraeliApartheid #IsraelApartheidState #IsraeliWarCrimes #IsraelisTerroristState #InternationalCriminalCourt #UnitedNations #OIC #ICJ #UnitedStates #USIsrael #AllEyesonRafah #IsraelStealsGazaAid #USSupportsGenocide #GlobalPeaceSummit

“Most of the children in Rafah have already been displaced multiple times by the fighting in Gaza, in direct contravention of international law. We know that as the war enters its 20th week many are injured, sick and malnourished and will struggle to find the wherewithal to move yet again. We estimate that at least 17,000 children in Gaza are now unaccompanied or have become separated from their families, a number that would surely increase in the event of further population displacement. It is imperative to refrain from further military escalation in and around Rafah and to ensure that all hostages still inside Gaza are urgently and safely released. If the parties do not heed this call, they will be responsible for the deaths of many more children, in addition to the thousands who have already perished. Parties to the conflict should urgently implement a permanent humanitarian ceasefire so that our group and other humanitarian agencies can help to roll out the massive, multi-agency operation that is so desperately needed. I strongly urge the authorities to allow more aid trucks through border checks, to lift restrictions on the movement of humanitarian workers, and to guarantee safety for people accessing and distributing aid. The destruction of Gaza and killing of civilians will not bring peace or safety to the region. That can only be achieved with a negotiated political solution, one that prioritizes the rights and well-being of this and future generations of Israeli and Palestinian children."

A year after the intensification of the conflict in #Gaza, what is the health situation in the occupied Palestinian territory? What capacity for action for humanitarian organizations, and for Médecins du Monde International Network in particular? Louise Alluin Bichet, Head of the Middle East Programmes, answers these questions and recalls the importance of social and political mobilization to put an end to this extremely violent conflict. ➡️ A ceasefire is essential to save the civilians in Gaza. International Humanitarian Law requires Israel to protect civilian populations and allow them to have access to humanitarian aid. #Palestine #IHL #CeaseFireNow

🇺🇳🇮🇱 The call for accountability has never been more urgent. As highlighted by a top UN Humanitarian Official, the lack of consequences for the killing of humanitarian aid workers in Gaza is a grave injustice. This impunity not only undermines the rule of law but also perpetuates a cycle of violence and suffering. ⚖️📜 There is widespread demand for a more aggressive approach to hold those responsible accountable. The international community, including bodies like the UN, ICC, and Human Rights Watch, must intensify their efforts to ensure justice for the victims and their families. Let us not turn a blind eye to these atrocities. Stand up for human rights and the protection of those who risk their lives to provide humanitarian aid. It's time to act and ensure that justice prevails. #palestine #gaza #unitednations

1.7 million people have been forced into a corner in Rafah. And despite promises of safety, the bombs have continued dropping. After almost eight months of violent conflict, people are wounded, hungry and have no place to go. There is no safe place left in Gaza. This must end now. We call for the next UK government to urgently: 🔴 call for an immediate ceasefire 🔴 increase the daily flow of humanitarian aid coming to Gaza – including water, fuel, food and medicine – to restart vital infrastructure such as hospitals and water and sanitation services 🔴 prioritise the protection of all civilians from military action, including the release of hostages 🔴 ensure International Humanitarian Law is upheld 🔴 increase humanitarian funding to urgently meet people’s basic needs 🔴 prevent the use of violence against civilians by Israeli settlers in Area C of the West Bank and end restrictions on the movement of Palestinian communities in the West Bank.

And what are the consequences?

After months of unimaginable trauma and indiscriminate bombing, the children of Gaza are now facing the horror of starvation and the threat of imminent famine. They have already suffered more than any child should, but further deaths from starvation can still be prevented if we act now. There can be no excuses: preventing access for humanitarian aid is a clear violation of international humanitarian law. An immediate and permanent #CeasefireNOW, and an end to the deliberate blocking of aid is the only option. Governments around the world must apply urgent pressure on Israel now.

Israel’s ban on #UNRWA imposes severe humanitarian challenges on the beneficiaries of its services in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. It is considered a political and legal overstep in light of the agency’s mandate, history, and roles. Additionally, the ban highlights the issue of global governance and its ability to provide an appropriate response in an increasingly tense world, especially in terms of relief efforts and humanitarian aid. #ستراتيجيكس #STRATEGIECS https://bit.ly/4i3QF6x
