Israel relentlessly bombs Rafah while its crossing remains closed, a trap that forces Gazans to escape again, this time, to Al Mawasi, a nearby and supposedly safe camp.

According to Jesús A. Núñez Villaverde, co-director of the IECAH, in laSexta, “Al-Mawasi had been declared a safe zone by Israel. Safe area that has been systematically bombed and where now more of the population is forced to go again.

It is a blockade that has the population dying. Núñez Villaverde emphasizes that “in no case can we think that humanitarian aid is lacking. What is missing is the political will for that humanitarian aid to enter.”

Gaza barely has fuel left

UNRWA, in charge of the distribution of Rafah, has reported that, until yesterday, sThey only received a third of what they really need. Raquel Martí, director of UNRWA Spain, tells laSexta that they would need “190,000 liters of fuel per day” while they are only accessing “60,000 liters per day.” In addition, since this Tuesday, the Rafah crossing is closed so they do not have access to fuel.

The fuel is Vital importance because it allows the circulation of ambulances, the operation of medical equipment in hospitals, cooking or purifying water through desalination plants. As the director of UNRWA explains, “there are more than 300,000 people with diarrhea due to ingesting contaminated water.” “The formula of dehydration, malnutrition plus diarrhea is a deadly formula,” she added.

Furthermore, Martí has ​​insisted that “If we do not receive fuel as soon as possible, we will have to suspend all humanitarian operations”. A few hours ago, Israel would have allowed the neighboring Kerem Shalom secondary pass to be opened, after the president of the United States, Joe Biden, asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by telephone.
