The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor described the US
administration’s announcement that the Rafah operation was “limited” as
misleading, stressing that Palestinian civilians have been paying a heavy
price for the ongoing Israeli military attack on the city for the fourth
day in a row, amid US support and global silence.

The Euro-Med said in a press statement on Friday that the death toll from
the Israeli attack on Rafah since the beginning of this month had risen to
97 martyrs, including 35 children and 17 women, the majority of them were
killed after the ground invasion of Rafah and occupying Rafah border
crossing with Egypt on May 7.

The human rights organization expressed its concern over the fact that the
US President Joe Biden and his administration are misleading world public
opinion by promoting that the Rafah operation is limited and that there are
red lines put for Israel, and that the Kerem Shalom crossing is open to the
movement of humanitarian supplies.

Euro-Med, however, explained that what is happening on the ground is an
all-out invasion of all Rafah neighborhoods, similar to what happened
previously in the cities and neighborhoods invaded by the Israeli army
across the Gaza Strip.

It recalled that Rafah is the center of humanitarian relief operations and
the outlet for life-saving humanitarian aid, noting that it is the place
where dozens of humanitarian relief organizations store supplies provided
to civilians throughout the Gaza Strip including food, water, health aid,
sanitation, and hygiene supplies. The ground invasion warns of an
escalation in the Israeli starvation policy pursued against residents of
the Gaza Strip and heralds a spread of diseases and a humanitarian crisis.

The Euro-Med Monitor renewed its call on the international community to
intervene urgently and decisively to stop the military attack on Rafah, its
residents and those displaced there, and to stop the crime of genocide
committed by the Israeli occupation army in the Gaza Strip.
