The Israeli occupation forces continue to close the Rafah border crossing and the Kerem Shalom commercial crossing in the southern Gaza Strip, for the fifteenth day in a row, amid warnings of a humanitarian catastrophe.

On May 7, the Israeli forces occupied the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing and stopped the flow of aid to the Gaza Strip.

Since the fifth of the same month, the Israeli forces have continued to close the Kerem Shalom commercial crossing southeast of the city of Rafah, and are preventing the entry of humanitarian and medical aid.

According to press sources, during the period of closure of the two crossings, the occupation forces prevented the entry of more than 3,000 aid trucks into the Gaza Strip, and the travel of about 700 sick and wounded people for treatment outside the besieged Gaza Strip.

On the ground, the Israeli forces escalated their aggression in the northern Gaza Strip, especially in the areas of Jabalia, Beit Lahia, and the vicinity of Kamal Adwan Hospital, amid the displacement of thousands of citizens, and the death toll of dozens of martyrs and wounded in a series of raids on all governorates of the Gaza Strip.

After stopping the treatment services at Al-Awda Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip due to it being besieged by the Israeli forces, the Israeli forces continue to advance towards the vicinity of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia.

810,000 citizens were forcibly displaced from the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, during the past two weeks, in search of safety.

In Rafah in the south, Israeli aircraft bombed several areas east of the city, leaving dozens of martyrs and injured, and the ground invasion of the east of the city caused the forcible displacement of about 810,000 citizens during the past two weeks, according to UNRWA data.

Yesterday, Sunday, the World Food Program stressed the need for “safe and sustainable” access to aid in order to prevent famine in the northern Gaza Strip, “but (Israeli) evacuation orders prevent this.”

The World Health Organization also said, "Supplies of essential medicines and fuel are very low in the Gaza Strip, and movement is limited due to security restrictions."

While the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) warned that failure to open land crossings and safe access to them portends the continuation of catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip.

There were about 1.4 million displaced people in Rafah, who had previously been forcibly displaced by the Israeli occupation, claiming that it was “safe” before it launched a ground attack and intense air strikes that resulted in hundreds of martyrs and wounded.

UNRWA confirmed that "every time families are displaced, their lives are exposed to serious danger, and they are forced to leave everything behind, in search of safety, but there is no safe area."

It renewed its call for an immediate ceasefire.

The Israeli occupation continues its aggression against the Gaza Strip, by land, sea and air, since the seventh of last October, which resulted in the death of 35,562 citizens, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 79,652 others, in an infinite toll, as thousands of victims are still under the rubble. .
