UNRWA employees preemptively dismissed #gaza #unrwa #unitednations Tamara Alrifai, a spokeswoman of the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees, says while it dismissed nine of 12 UNRWA employees accused by Israel of taking part in the October 7 attacks, the move was made “preemptively” while investigations were under way. “They were dismissed upon allegations preemptively. These now-former employees have the right of recourse in case the findings are in their favour,” Alrifai told Al Jazeera. She noted Israel is aware of the identities of all its 13,000-member staff, emphasising the “sturdy recruitment” process and security checks carried out on each one. “UNRWA shares the full list of names of its staff […]
People trying to get out of Gaza via the Rafah border crossing with Egypt are being forced to pay thousands of dollars to a network of so-called brokers for exit permits. That’s according to reports published by Le Monde in France. Some Palestinians describe the practice as state-sponsored corruption and are pointing to Israel and Egypt, which control the crossing.

Palestinians fleeing the fighting in Khan Younis are making their way further south. Most of Gaza’s population is crammed into an area at the southernmost tip of the Gaza Strip. Trapped between the sea and the Egyptian border, they have nowhere else to go. Many are living on the streets with little or no access to food, water, medicines or appropriate shelter.

The Israeli military says its ground forces have “encircled” the city of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip after 24 of its soldiers were killed in the enclave in its largest single-day toll in the three-month war. “Over the past day, troops carried out an extensive operation during which they encircled Khan Younis and deepened the operation in the area,” the military said in a statement on Tuesday, calling the city a stronghold of the Palestinian armed group Hamas. The Palestinian Red Crescent says Israeli forces have shelled its headquarters. Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Rafah in southern Gaza.

Top UN human rights expert has accused Israel of breaking international law with its relentless bombardment of Gaza. Francesca Albanese says Israel’s right to self defence doesn’t allow it to ignore the rules of proportionality and ensure protection of civilians. Despite those condemnations, Israel’s attacks in Gaza continue unabated. More than 24,620 Palestinians have now been killed.

In the Gaza Strip, heavy Israeli bombardment struck extensively, encompassing land, air, and sea assaults. The southern region bore the brunt, particularly Khan Younis and Rafah city. Overnight, Rafah’s central area and Shaboura refugee camp faced bombings, resulting in 23 fatalities, including four children, and over 10 critically injured. The most devastating impact occurred in Khan Younis, specifically the western side, which was previously designated a ‘safe zone’ for displaced people by Israel, and has faced repeated targeting. Intense strikes near Khan Younis’s Nasser Hospital reveal a concerning pattern, with tanks and armoured vehicles deployed on the main road leading to the medical facility.
