Gaza Crisis Deepens as ICRC Halts Operations, UN Warns of 'Places of Death'
The situation in Gaza has escalated, with Israeli-designated safe-zones hit repeatedly in the past 18 months, resulting in civilian casualties. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has temporarily halted operations in Gaza City due to intense military activities.
The ICRC has redeployed personnel to southern areas like Deir al-Balah and Rafah to continue its missions. However, the UN disputes the safety of these areas, stating that Israeli-designated zones in the southern Gaza Strip are 'places of death'. Al-Mawasi, a densely populated coastal area declared a 'humanitarian area' by Israel, has been struck multiple times by Israeli airstrikes.
Bombs are dropped with chilling predictability, even on schools and tents used as shelters. The World Health Organization is calling for humanitarian corridors to allow access to hospitals in Gaza. The UN insists there is no safe place for Palestinians ordered to leave Gaza City, with Al-Mawasi lacking basic essentials for survival such as nutrition, shelter, and sanitation. Humanitarian agencies warn that supplies allowed into the Gaza Strip are insufficient to meet the population's needs.
The Israeli military has repeatedly advised Palestinians to head south, but the UN and humanitarian agencies question the safety and adequacy of these areas. The situation in Gaza remains critical, with civilians bearing the brunt of the conflict.
