The Red Cross is allowed into Gaza – news Urix – Foreign news and documentaries

A truck with six doctors from the Red Cross, as well as four other specialists from the International Committee of the Red Cross and six aid vehicles, is said to have gone past the Rafah border crossing into Gaza on Friday. Despite the fact that some aid is now entering Gaza, this is nowhere near enough, according to Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. – Only a handful of aid convoys have been allowed into Gaza, and the situation for besieged and bombed Palestinians is about to get out of control. Gaza is suffocating. Earlier on Friday, French President Emmanuel Macron called for a “humanitarian ceasefire” in the conflict between Hamas and Israel to protect civilians in the Gaza Strip. Macron said he recognized Israel’s right to fight terrorism, but pointed to the total blockade, the indiscriminate bombardment and the expected massive ground operation, as a risk to civilians.
