Today, Tuesday, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) confirmed that two headquarters will be closed in Ariha and Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip , while maintaining and strengthening all programs in those affected areas and in other existing offices.

The committee also confirmed in a statement that it will continue to provide the humanitarian services and activities it used to provide in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem and Israel.

"We remain closely committed to all societies affected by conflict and occupation since 1967, in particular through our work to promote protection and respect for the civilian population," said ICRC Head of Delegation Alessandra Mignon.
