As Israel shuts down border crossings and continues to threaten an invasion of Rafah, the few remaining hospitals in the Gaza Strip are preparing to stop admissions

The first task is to prevent the attack on Rafah and end the genocide. However, soon thereafter, the political malaise that has befallen the Palestinian people must be overcome

Israel orders the forced evacuation of Palestinians sheltering in Rafah ahead of a planned ground invasion

Police continue to crack down on growing movement of Gaza Solidarity Encampments, students stand their ground

A UN-World Bank report says it will take years to reconstruct and rebuild Gaza, with 26 million tons of debris to take many years to clear

Virtually the entire world has welcomed the UNSC ceasefire resolution and has called for its swift implementation

Mientras Israel se prepara para una invasión terrestre de Rafah, la resolución que Estados Unidos redactó y presentó al Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU se limitaba a señalar la “necesidad imperiosa” de alto el fuego inmediato en Gaza. Argelia, Rusia y China rechazaron la resolución, afirmando que no había cumplido la exigencia fundamental de un alto el fuego.

As Israel prepares for a ground invasion of Rafah, the US-authored resolution presented to the UN Security Council merely noted an “imperative” for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Algeria, Russia, and China rejected the resolution, stating that it had failed to deliver on the core demand for a ceasefire.

Israeli forces resumed their bombing of Northern Gaza, where Palestinians civilians are already reeling under a desperate and rapidly declining humanitarian situation.

Famine looms in Gaza due to Israel’s refusal to let aid trucks into the besieged territory. This is in violation of the Geneva Conventions which say that “starvation of civilians as a method of combat is prohibited”

Aid groups and UN missions continue to struggle to deliver essential food, medical, and fuel supplies, despite the Israeli attacks on aid trucks and aid-seekers

Western countries have put more resources towards airdrops and maritime routes for aid delivery, instead of putting diplomatic and economic pressure on Israel to allow aid deliveries by land
