Again, about 800,000 people, half of #Rafah's population, are forced to flee due to the Israeli invasion.
The claim that civilians in Gaza can go to safe areas is false
Humanitarian organizations no longer have resources such as food and essential items to prepare
The time has come to agree on a ceasefire and any further escalation will cause more suffering to civilians.
The #unitednations could have a peace keeping force, "blue helmets" on the ground in #gaza#rafah but that would me they would also need one in #ukraine.
Never will we see this obvious solution with #russia and #china on the #un security council.

What did ICJ ruling mean in South Africa's genocide case against Israel?
The UN's top court has resumed hearings on a case brought by South Africa accusing Israel of genocide in the Gaza war and seeking an emergency halt to its offensive in Rafah.
The words of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) have been subject to intense scrutiny since South Africa brought its case and it’s centred around the use of the word “plausible” in the ruling.
It is quite something to watch distinguished legal minds argue in real-time to stop a genocide from continuing. To watch genocidal intent in #Rafah so easily established. #ICJ
Same person calling everyone they disagree with names is one that uses "Zionist" to hide their hatred for Jews. So sick of these people saying they are against hate and spreading it.
#FarhanHaq, a #UN spokesperson, said the new smaller numbers reflected those bodies which had been fully identified. The bigger figures included corpses for whom identification has so far not been completed.
In recent days #Egypt has announced it will no longer participate in allowing the transit of aid into #Gaza and said it planned to join the #genocide case brought by #SouthAfrica against Israel at the UN’s top court. #TheHague
With a greenlight from Biden to continue the its invasion into #Rafah, despite evidence of war crimes https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/112421478297802310, #IDF is now calling residents of eastern #Rafah to evacuate to the “humanitarian zone” in the coastal al-Mawasi region in southern #Gaza. Similarly IDF called residents of Jabaliya and Beit Lahiya, two neighborhoods in northern Gaza, to evacuate to western Gaza City.
[cont’d] EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell's office: Israel’s continued military operation in Rafah will strain its relationship with the EU
[…] “The European Union is calling on Israel to refrain from further exacerbating the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza and reopen the crossing point of Rafah. Should Israel continue its military operation in Rafah, it would inevitably put a heavy strain on the EU’s relationship with Israel,” the bloc warned.
[cont’d] reminder: the #ICJ will convene at 3 PM for an urgent discussion scheduled to last two hours at the request of South Africa to issue new orders relating to the war in Gaza and its cessation, as well as the entry of humanitarian aid into the Strip, following the IDF activities in #Rafah.
South Africa will present its arguments, and tomorrow the Israeli delegation will do so between 10 AM and 12:00 PM.
Israeli media is estimating that there is a possibility that the Court will respond to South Africa's request and issue a #ceasefire order. However, the prevailing view is that Israel will not obey such an order.
[…] The hearings on May 16 and 17 will only focus on issuing emergency measures, to keep the dispute from escalating. It will likely take years before the court can rule on the merits of the case.
