On Monday, Israeli forces issued evacuation orders for Palestinians in eastern Rafah, a move widely seen as a prelude to Israel's long-feared attack on the city, home to some 1.5 million displaced Palestinians. "It is the responsibility of the State of Israel as an occupying power to ensure that United Nations personnel and facilities are protected at all times," he said.The Palestinian resistance group Hamas denounced the mistreatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
Sao Paulo University, hailed as Latin America's most prestigious university, saw students from various faculties protesting against Israel. The statement by the Gaza-based General Authority for Crossings and Borders came in response to statements from the US State Department on the opening of crossings and entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
In a telephone call with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, Blinken reaffirmed President Joe Biden's"clear position that the United States does not support a major military operation in Rafah and the United States' rejection of any forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said.
More than 1.5 million Palestinians have taken shelter in Rafah after half a year of war, and Israel has issued ultimatum for residents of the east of the city to flee. UNRWA and staff from other UN agencies at the time were on the compound, which has on its grounds petrol and diesel stations for a fleet of UN cars.
