Gaza City, May 21 (RHC)-- Fierce fighting continues in northern Gaza, with Israeli jet, helicopter and artillery attacks reported on the Jabalia refugee camp. Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, warns that the al-Awda Hospital in the area has completely run out of drinking water.
Meanwhile, Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi calls for an international probe into “war crimes” committed during Israel’s war on Gaza. Safadi’s tough words come after Israel killed 31 people in the Nuseirat refugee camp amid intensified air and ground attacks across Gaza.
The UN’s humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths has warned of “apocalyptic” consequences of aid shortages in Gaza as the key Rafah and Karem Abu Salem crossings remain “effectively blocked.”
At least 35,456 people have been killed and 79,476 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s attack is 1,139, with dozens still held captive.
