The organization’s offices were surrounded by displaced people living in tents. “Firing so dangerously close to humanitarian facilities puts the lives of civilians and humanitarian workers at risk,” the Red Cross said on Mawasi, not far from Rafah.

Meanwhile, the northern front is heating up. “Israel cannot allow the terrorist organization Hezbollah to continue to attack its territory and its citizens and we will soon take the necessary decisions,” writes Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz on X. «The free world must unconditionally stand with Israel in its war against the axis of evil led by Iran and extremist Islam. Our war is also your war and Nasrallah’s threat to Cyprus is just the beginning. Evil must be defeated, as history has shown in the past,” Katz added.
