Israel condemned for bombing #Rafah camp as civilians ‘burnt alive’

Eyewitnesses said that tents were “melting” from the bombardment, burning people alive. Scenes of death and devastation were widely reported, with many bodies charred and barely identifiable.

In Brussels, Josep Borrell, the EU’s foreign policy chief, urged #Israel to comply with last week’s ruling by the International Court of Justice to halt its Rafah offensive.

V Tom Bateman:
'The only road into #Gaza set to reopen is bomb damaged and dangerous.

Egyptian diggers are trying to repair the #Rafah crossing amid hopes 20 aid lorries could go in, possibly today.

#Israel has said it will agree only to food, water and medicines passing through. Desperately needed fuel to power hospitals and water filter systems aren’t part of the deal.'


Egyptian state media say the Rafah Crossing into Gaza will be opened for several hours on Friday to allow the delivery of desperately needed aid.

The US wants to see "sustained humanitarian assistance" going into Gaza and is "watching carefully" to see aid does not benefit Hamas", according to State Department spokesman, Matthew Miller.

Why is #Egypt keeping the crossing closed? Jeremy Bowen: the Egyptian government, even at quiet times, does not allow routine access from #Gaza through the #Rafah crossing. #Egypt has been the junior partner in earlier versions of Israel's siege of Gaza ever since #Hamas took over there in 2007.
Hamas has its roots in the Muslim Brotherhood, an organisation founded in Egypt a century ago. The Brotherhood wants to reshape states and society in line with Islamic teaching and belief. (Cont.)

Reuters is just reporting that the #US, #Israel and #Egypt have agreed to a #ceasefire in southern #Gaza to coincide with the reopening of the #Rafah crossing on the Gaza-Egypt border. We had earlier seen media reports saying the Egyptian-controlled Rafah crossing - now the only possible road out of Gaza - will be open "for a few hours" on Monday

the #US Embassy in #Israel said people "may wish to move closer" to the #Rafah crossing on the #Gaza - #Egypt border. It was citing US media reports which said the Rafah crossing will open "for a few hours". Neither report has been confirmed.

NBC News, citing a #Palestinian official, said the crossing would be open at 9am local time. ABC News, citing a security source, said the crossing would open for a few hours on Monday "and then close again in the late afternoon".

In #Egypt, an aid convoy has been waiting for hours to enter #Gaza through the #Rafah crossing.

In recent days the checkpoint has been closed due to #Israel's aerial bombardment of the Gaza Strip which has reportedly damaged the #Palestinian side of the crossing.

This has prevented people from leaving or entering Gaza through the checkpoint. It also means aid has been held up at the border, and aid agencies have urged authorities to let their convoys through.


The conditions in #Gaza are "fast becoming untenable," #UN aid chief Martin Griffiths said. "I fear that the worst is yet to come Humanity is failing."

So far at least five planes carrying humanitarian relief have arrived in Egypt's Sinai, Red Cross #ICRC officials said.

The #WHO said a plane carrying trauma medicines and health supplies had also landed.

Al Arish airport on #Sinai is about 45 km from the Gaza border, but the #Rafah crossing with #Egypt remains closed.

at the moment, no crossings into #Gaza are functioning.

All the crossings into #Israel have been closed since #Hamas launched its deadly attack on Israel on Saturday.

Until yesterday, the #Rafah crossing between Gaza and #Egypt was operating.

On Sunday, it was open for goods and about 200 trucks of food, fuel and construction materials were allowed in, acc to OCHA
