‘They burned people alive’
Survivors of the Israeli attack on the displacement camp in Rafah have spoken to Al Jazeera. “I was walking and looking at my phone when the area was struck,” one survivor said.
“I did not realise what had happened. I had no idea what had become my family. My mother was with me and my brother was injured at the camp. I fell to the ground and saw that my leg had been split open.”
Another survivor said the air raid “burned an entire block”. “They burned people alive,” he said.
Health system ‘incapable’ of dealing with situation in Rafah: Red Cross
A spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross in Gaza has spoken to Al Jazeera about the attack on the displacement camp in Rafah.
Here is a summary of their comments:
- There is a need to follow the basic rules of international humanitarian law.
- The healthcare system in Gaza is incapable of dealing with the situation in Rafah.
- The number of victims from the bombing of the displacement camp and raids in Rafah is likely to rise.
‘All red lines have ceased to exist’
Responding to the attack at the tent camp in Rafah, Palestinian writer and activist Kaleem Hawa said it was clear “there is no red line for Israel and the United States”.
“They have the ability to attack the civilian population indiscriminately to create mass graves, … to put 2 million people under siege,” he told Al Jazeera from Detroit, US, where a pro-Palestine conference is ongoing.
“All red lines have ceased to exist. And only the resistance of the Palestinian people on the ground and our struggle here in the imperial core will help bring about an end to this ongoing genocide and campaign of extermination.”
