Gaza's Displaced Population Endures Desperate Conditions Amidst Israeli Bombings

Almost 1.9 million people, or 85% of Gaza's population, remain displaced and in harm's way, with nearly half crammed into the southernmost governorate of Rafah. Israeli authorities have cut off basic services and aid supplies, making it difficult for people to find food, water, and medication. The Israeli military's repeated attacks have destroyed or damaged the majority of homes, schools, and hospitals in Gaza, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. The forced displacement of civilians is a war crime, and the international community should warn against actions that prevent displaced Palestinians from returning home.

International Organizations Call for Immediate Ceasefire in Gaza

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has issued a rare public statement calling for a "pause" in the fighting in Gaza, as Israeli authorities have ordered the population to leave their homes without ensuring access to basic necessities like food and water. The ICRC emphasizes that international humanitarian law protects all civilians, including those who remain in Gaza, and expresses concern for the safety of its colleagues in the region. They stress the need for humanitarian organizations to be able to increase aid operations and provide life-saving relief to the people of Gaza.

Escalating Settler Violence in Palestine: A Disturbing Trend

The United States has condemned the recent incident of settler violence in the West Bank, noting that such violence has led to Palestinians fleeing their villages. The State Department spokesperson called for accountability and justice for those responsible for the attacks, including legal action and restitution for lost homes and property. The UN has previously reported on the intimidation and attacks by settlers, as well as home demolitions by Israeli authorities, which have forced Palestinian communities to leave their lands. The US also condemned the visit of an Israeli minister to the Temple Mount, reaffirming support for the historic status quo at Jerusalem's holy sites. Additionally, the US praised Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's decision to nullify a decree that would have curbed the power and independence of the Palestinian judiciary.
