everybody blaming Egypt for closing the border but « Egypt says it wants to relieve the plight of Gazans, and on Thursday its Foreign Ministry urged countries and aid groups to send shipments to the international airport at El Arish. Although Egypt says that border is open, multiple Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza side on Monday and Tuesday have rendered it effectively closed. And Israel said that no humanitarian aid would be allowed to enter until Hamas releases the 150 people, including children and older people, it captured during the brutal raids on the weekend. »

this is a tactic that the state of israel (and letters to the editor from n·y·t readers) have been emphasizing: put out an unreasonable call for evacuation, then claim that everyone who remains behind is either with Hamas, protecting Hamas, or being used by Hamas as “human shields” (and thus Hamas, and not the State of Israel, is responsible for any harm which comes to them)

one million people. twenty-four hours

« Israel’s military warned in a statement on Friday that residents of northern Gaza should relocate to the southern half of the territory within 24 hours.

The United Nations said that such an evacuation would entail moving more than one million people and lead to “devastating humanitarian consequences.”

The Israeli military said in its statement: “Civilians of Gaza City, evacuate south for your own safety and the safety of your families and distance yourself from Hamas terrorists who are using you as human shields.”

It was not clear how the U.N. could organize a massive population movement on such a short notice given many of the roads were damaged and impassable from Israeli airstrikes. »
