Israel and the occupied territories: responding to urgent needs (May 2021)
Format
Renewed hostilities between Gaza and Israel broke out in May and lasted for 11 days. The ICRC has stepped up its activities to meet the resulting humanitarian needs of people affected by the recent escalation.
On both sides of the Gaza fence, the ICRC has been closely monitoring the respect of the applicable rules of international humanitarian law and documenting the humanitarian consequences of such hostilities. We are raising concerns with authorities on both sides as part of our bilateral and confidential dialogues.
Considering the recent escalation, we assessed the needs in all places of detention in the Gaza Strip and recommended to the authorities to allow detainees to stay in contact with their families during this difficult time.
I visited Gaza yesterday, and the south of Israel today. The trauma in this region grows after each new round of hostilities. People remain wary of what s to come.
What people shared with me is a profound sense of fatigue, hopelessness and inability to see a better future for the region s younger generations. The humanitarian aid that residents in Gaza need now cannot prevent a nearly inevitable return to nights filled with terror at some point in the near or distant future. That can only come with political solutions.
I have conveyed to both sides our offer to be a neutral intermediary should there be a negotiated exchange for detainees or human remains. Families have the right to know, to grieve and to move on with their lives.
