The big picture:
The statement underscores Palestinian concerns that Israel may evade or manipulate ceasefire obligations, particularly regarding humanitarian access through Rafah.
What they’re saying:
The groups called on mediators and guarantor states to pressure Israel to open the Rafah crossing in both directions, as stipulated in the Sharm El-Sheikh ceasefire agreement and UN Security Council Resolution 2803.
They warned against attempts to restrict the crossing to one-way traffic, citing reports in Israeli media.
By the numbers:
In the past 24 hours, Gaza hospitals received five martyrs, four killed by Israeli forces and one recovered from rubble.
Since the ceasefire began on Oct. 11, Israeli forces have killed 360 Palestinians and injured 922.
Since October 7, 2023, Gaza has recorded a total of 70,117 fatalities and 170,999 injuries.
