It was noted that 15,328 children and 10,171 women have lost their lives in the Israeli army's attacks on Gaza, 10,000 people are under rubble or missing, the number of dead reaching hospitals is 36,096, and the number of injured is 81,136.Israeli forces killed at least 72 displaced Palestinians in attacks on refugee tents in Rafah in the last 48 hours, Gaza’s government media office has said.
"If the incursion would continue, we would lose the last hospital in Rafah," Richard Peeperkorn, the WHO representative for Gaza and the West Bank, said on the sidelines of the World Health Assembly in Geneva. Israel has kept up its offensive despite a ruling by the top UN court on Friday ordering it to stop, saying the court's ruling grants it some scope for military action in Rafah.Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen has expressed sorrow about recent Israeli air strikes in Rafah that killed dozens of civilians.
"Some 26 women are held administratively without trial or charge from among 80 women in Israe li custody at Damon prison" near Haifa in northern Israel, it added.Hamas has called on the UN Security Council to take"immediate" measures to halt Israel’s ongoing offensive in Rafah in southern Gaza. The new Israeli strikes targeted tents of displaced families in the designated humanitarian area in Mawasi in western Rafah, according to medics and residents.
"There's been an abrupt halt to all medical evacuations," WHO spokesperson Margaret Harris said at a UN press briefing. "It would not be possible for this genocide to continue without the support of some countries, especially the US, for Israel," he said.Spain, Norway and Ireland have formally recognised the State of Palestine, defying Israel which had condemned the move.
Shortly afterwards, Spain followed suit, with government spokeswoman Pilar Alegria confirming the cabinet had formally recognised Palestinian statehood, qualifying it as"a historic day."May 28, 2024 These events"underscore that we must see a humanitarian ceasefire now so that civilians can be protected," she added.
0941 GMT –– Reporters Without Borders files 3rd complaint with ICC about Israeli war crimes against journalists The current Israeli incursion into Rafah makes it only 3 kilometres away from the Rafah coast and puts over two-thirds of the Philadelphi Corridor area under Israel's control. At least 16 Palestinians were killed in strikes overnight, officials in the enclave said. Israeli tanks pushed towards western neighbourhoods in one of the worst nights of bombardment reported by residents.
The small city on the southern edge of Gaza had been sheltering more than a million Palestinians who fled Israeli assaults on other parts of the enclave. Footage shared on social media showed several people interfering with a presentation by Baerbock at the Democracy Festival held on Sunday to mark the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the country's constitution.
"We must take a history lesson from the friendship between the Greek people and the Palestinian people, starting with Andreas Papandreou and Yasser Arafat, and today bring it back to the forefront of our foreign policy. This was intentional. You don't accidentally kill massive amounts of children and their families over and over again and get to say, "It was a mistake."Several Palestinians were injured due to assaults by Israeli forces and illegal Jeswish settlers in the occupied West Bank.
The Israeli army did not give a statement on the strike but said it had targeted other areas of southern Lebanon in response to what they call"terrorist launches."The Lebanese Hezbollah group said it carried out an aerial attack against an Israeli army position in northern Israel.
