Survivors of the Israeli attack on the displacement camp in Rafah:
“The air raid burned an entire block. They burned people alive"
The attack used seven 2,000-pound bombs - a clear message from Israel & US that the massacres against displaced persons & children will continue, & that breaking international law will not stop.
Vessels supporting US pier wash away in heavy seas off Gaza
"The pier has been criticised as a complicated & costly alternative that tries to deflect attention from demanding a much simpler solution – for Israel to fully open all land crossings to Gaza & to secure aid trucks going in."
Israel is keeping land crossings - "the only effective way of getting large-scale aid to starving Palestinians" - closed.

Dr Mads Gilbert, who has worked in Gaza for decades, says Israeli attacks on hospitals, mosques, education facilities & bakeries are "part of a campaign to eradicate the Palestinian society & any sign of Palestinian structures in the civilian life."
There's no proof for IDF claims that "hospitals are used by Palestinian fighters."
“This is the politics of eradicating the indigenous people to take their lands.”

"Karim Khan, the ICC prosecutor, must request the warrants from a pre-trial panel of three judges, who take on average two months to consider the evidence" & make a determination.
Israel is not a member of the ICC.

Gaza aid operations may halt as Israeli bombings intensify, charities warn
"The latest Israeli assault, more than seven months into the war, has cut off access to some areas and left aid crossings either closed or operating at a limited capacity"
"Human Rights Watch charged this week that Israeli forces had repeatedly targeted known aid worker locations,"
"Israeli Forces Attack Known Aid Worker Locations in Gaza"
"A new Human Rights Watch Report finds Israeli forces have attacked humanitarian aid convoys and facilities at least eight times since October 7.
"More than 250 aid workers have been killed in Gaza over the past seven months.... What’s really unique is the high number in such a short period of time.”
Interview to a Jewish human rights lawyer who documented the settlers blocking and destroying aid bound to Gaza. She even tried to stop them, risking her own life. Settlers get the information and backing from the government. IOF and police just watch them.
So this is the Israeli government preventing aid to get into Gaza and blaming vandals. How convenient.
"We are not going to desist. No state that is on the right side of history, that is a custodian of the United Nations charter, should feel they have a privileged position to play fast and loose with the UN Charter, or with the international work of the ICC."
A testimony from volunteer doctors who have worked in Gaza recently. They talk about the cases they've seen.
This is Prof Nick Maynard:
"I spent some time a while ago looking up the definition of genocide in a variety of dictionaries and what is going on in Gaza fulfils every single definition of genocide that I have read. So there's no doubt in my mind that's what's going on"
