They are seeing hepatitis, jaundice, gastroenteritis. These are horrific challenges facing children. And we just do not have supplies or enough personnel to deal with this.”
Alexandra Saieh, head of humanitarian policy and advocacy at Save the Children International
A group of 20 prominent human rights organisations has issued a statement denouncing the failure of world leaders to act even as Israel’s invasion of Rafah “worsens the humanitarian catastrophe” in Gaza.
The statement said third countries “have the responsibility to urgently act in bringing to an end, and pursue accountability for the grave breaches of international humanitarian law” taking place in Gaza.

But after my 6th attempt, I needed a break and went to Ukraine without a license.
I got some driving practice in #Kharkiv to help with my friend's charity KHARPP that does some of the most effective work I have seen repairing homes and giving necessary #aid to villages in the Kharkiv region only a few km from the #Russian border.
“The closure of the crossings means no fuel. It means no trucks, no generators, no water, no electricity and no movement of people or goods. It means no aid.”
“Civilians in Gaza are being starved and killed and we are prevented from helping them. This is Gaza today even after seven months of horrors.”

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has said that none of the aid group’s trucks have been permitted to pass through the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) post, despite Israel’s claims that the border crossing had been reopened on Wednesday.

A United Nations official says the U.N. wants to use its own security to protect the World Food Program staff instead of the Israeli military, citing their desire to remain neutral in the conflict. ABC News has more on the project.
