“Over 390 bodies have been discovered at Nasser & Al Shifa hospitals, including of women & children, with many reportedly showing signs of torture & summary executions, and potential instances of people buried alive” - UN Human Rights shar.es/agsTYs

An Israeli military court will tomorrow decide whether to renew for 6 more months administrative detention of Palestinian rights activist Bassem Tamimi. Israel's unlawfully sweeping use of admin detention—3,400+ Palestinians held wo charge or trial, unprecedented numbers—must end

Where’s your urgent statement on Rafah Senator Penny Wong?!

Don’t dare claim you ‘prioritise the rules based international system’ when yr party has for decades failed to hold Israel to account: a failure that’s paved the way for today’s mass war crimes & genocide #EndIsraeliImpunity

❗️In Gaza:

🔴 34,000+ people killed
🔴 490+ medical staff killed
🔴 70,000+ people injured

📢 With more than 1 million people crammed into Rafah, the consequences of a military offensive would be catastrophic.

People in Gaza need an immediate and sustained ceasefire 👇

Forcing 1 million+ displaced Palestinians in Rafah to again flee without a safe place to go is unlawful & catastrophic. There is nowhere safe to go in Gaza.

Israel's evacuation orders to civilians in Rafah portend the worst: more war and famine. It is unacceptable.

Israel must renounce to a ground offensive and implement UNSCR 2728.

The EU, with the International Community, can and must act to prevent such scenario.

The 'evacuation' of Rafah is illegal. There are no 'humanitarian' or 'safe zones.' Civilians are being forcibly displaced to areas totally unsuitable to human habitation. This is a crime against humanity.

To give you a sense of what Rafah looks like, and how little shelter civilians have from any major offensive - UN workers in Rafah sent me these photos this morning. Tents, tarpaulin, cloth and cardboard protecting Gaza’s displaced children.

The IDF says it is telling civilians to evacuate parts of Rafah ahead of a planned offensive, but our recent investigation into similar past warnings showed safe zones were repeatedly targeted anyway.

Talking to displaced families in Rafah this morning (most of them have had to flee multiple times) - all of them are asking where do we go? How can we live in Al-Mawasi where there is no infrastructure? Where there is no space? A place which has also been attacked by Israel.

‼️ALL EYES ON RAFAH‼️

APAN demands that the Australian Government urgently acts to pressure Israel to abandon its attack on Rafah and to end its genocide in Gaza.

Netanyahu has today shut down Al Jazeera to stop the world seeing what is taking place.

Tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians have already died while the world has watched on.

No more. Call for an immediate ceasefire. Sanction Netanyahu’s war cabinet. End military exports.

Israel’s military is preparing to invade Rafah - dropping bombs in the city where a million displaced Palestinians are seeking shelter, ahead of a ground invasion.

This is a deadly escalation while 70% of Gaza is facing 'catastrophic hunger' and children are starving to death.

News from east Rafah: Most people will not evacuate.
Patients, friends and colleagues are calling me for advice. I am confused, don’t know what to say, praying to God for guidance

‼️As #Israel orders the immediate evacuation of eastern parts of #Rafah + go to Muwasi, a reminder that this is unlawful. Muwasi is not equipped to host more displaced. Most importantly this could lead to a catastrophic loss of human life. Nowhere is safe.

An Israeli offensive in #Rafah would mean more civilian suffering & deaths. The consequences would be devastating for 1.4 million people

UNRWA is not evacuating: the Agency will maintain a presence in Rafah as long as possible & will continue providing lifesaving aid to people

Horrific. The Israeli government is proceeding with plans to invade #Rafah

Palestinian civilians have nowhere else to go. This is where they were told they would be safe.

The international community must act immediately to stop this now! #AllEyesOnRafah #CeasefireNOW

Rafah is sheltering over 1.5 million people displaced from other parts. This order to move reportedly impacts up to 100,000 people. Al Mawasi is just an area of the coast & dunes there is little to no infrastructure there. It’s also not safe. It’s been attacked multiple times

Israeli military orders civilians in parts of Rafah to “evacuate”. “Remaining in these areas puts your lives in danger” read flyers the military say they’ve dropped over Rafah telling people to move to Al-Mawasi a narrow strip of coastal land already sheltering 350,000 displaced

The fact that Israel banned Al Jazeera hours before beginning its assault on Rafah is not a coincidence.

After everything we’ve seen in the last 7 months, imagine what they’ll do when they think no one is watching.
