The world's largest humanitarian aid network has stressed the urgency of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, where millions of Palestinians are facing starvation.

The International Society of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) has expressed its concern due to the humanitarian crisis that is getting worse every day in the Gaza Strip, in occupied Palestine. 

The president of the community, Kate Forbes, told the Reuters news agency that, "We really need a political solution that will lead to a ceasefire and enable us to deliver humanitarian aid (Gaza)."

In addition, Forbes, who last December was appointed as the second woman to lead the largest humanitarian aid network in the world, has warned about the humanitarian situation in the city of Rafah and said that the situation in the southern part of the Gaza Strip is frightening.

He added that international institutions are working at a chameleon pace in addressing the problems of the residents of the region despite the fact that the residents of the area are facing genocide, forced displacement and demolition of houses and infrastructure. 

Israel's three-week offensive against the city of Rafah has sparked outrage around the world, especially after Sunday's (May 26) airstrike in a refugee camp killed at least 45 Palestinians.

The recent killing of Palestinian civilians in the supposedly "safe" area of ​​the Gaza Strip further exposes "the brutality of the genocide carried out by the Israeli regime and the participation of the US government in the ongoing genocide in the southern city of Rafah of that zone.

This is according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the largest organization to defend the rights of American Muslims.

On Tuesday, 21 Palestinians were brutally killed, 12 of them women, in a new brutal Israeli attack on the tents of displaced people, in a designated safe area in Mawasi west of Rafah.

The recent massacre by Israel in the Rafah refugee camps, another war crime

 

In a statement on Tuesday, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awadh said:

"Day after day, murder after murder and the administration of President Joe Biden of the United States continues to give bombs to the right-wing government of Israel that are used to slaughter and brutally kill Palestinian children, women, the elderly, medical workers, journalists of international aid workers and patients injured in these brutal attacks by the United States continues to shield Israel from international responsibility. The brutality of genocide is revealed every day by the piles of burnt and dismembered Palestinian citizens. must be stopped immediately."

Despite the clear brutality and crime of Israel against the people of Gaza, the White House of the United States has said that there is no mass killing or any violation of human rights committed by the apartheid regime of Israel against the people of Gaza and especially in the events the recent painful and sad events of the regime in the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip.

On Friday CAIR applauded the decision of the International Court of Justice of the United Nations (ICJ) based in The Hague to order the illegal Israeli regime to stop its attacks in the city of Rafah but it has refused to comply with the order.
