Red Cross Forced To Halt Operations As Israeli Army Encircles Gaza City
Israel’s defense minister warned that this is the ‘last chance’ for residents to flee, while threatening that those who remain will be considered ‘terrorists’
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) announced on 1 October that it has been forced to halt operations due to escalating Israeli military operations in Gaza City.
The ICRC said in a statement that it has halted operations due to the “intensification of military operations in Gaza City,” adding that it will relocate its staff to offices in south Gaza to “ensure staff safety and operational continuity.”
The Palestine Red Crescent Society and civil defense in Gaza have been working “relentlessly to provide relief,” the ICRC added, warning that their movement and ability to safely reach civilians have been “severely constrained.”
“The ICRC will continue to strive to provide support to civilians in Gaza City, whenever circumstances allow, from our offices in Deir al-Balah and Rafah, which remain fully operational. This includes providing medical donations to the few remaining health facilities in Gaza City and doing the utmost to facilitate the movements of first responders,” it went on to say.
“The ICRC has been in Gaza City for decades. Following the latest intensification of hostilities, ICRC teams stayed as long as they possibly could to protect and support the most vulnerable people. The ICRC remains committed to returning as soon as conditions allow.”
