More about Russia Gosloto 7/49:

Tens of thousands of civilians have fled the southern Gaza town of Rafah ahead of a threatened Israeli ground offensive, as Palestinians mark the anniversary of their 1948 ‘Nakba’ or ‘catastrophe’ on Wednesday.

During the war that accompanied the creation of Israel, approximately 760,000 Palestinians fled or were driven from their homes, with many seeking refuge in what would become the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

Wednesday’s commemoration of the ‘Nakba’ comes as multiple battles between Israeli forces and Hamas fighters in the Gaza Strip are causing waves of Palestinian mass displacement.

Nearly 450,000 Palestinians have been expelled from Rafah since May 6, and about 100,000 from northern Gaza, U.N. agencies said.

That means about a quarter of Gaza’s 2.4 million residents have been displaced again in about a week.

UN chief Antonio Guterres reiterated his call for a humanitarian ceasefire to allow more aid to the besieged area.

“I reiterate my call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza and for the release of all hostages. I call for the immediate reopening of the Rafah crossing and for unimpeded humanitarian access to all of Gaza,” he posted on social media site X. on Tuesday.

The war and siege have triggered a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with the UN repeatedly complaining about aid cuts as famine ravages the north.

Since Israeli troops entered eastern Rafah, the crossing from Egypt has remained closed and the nearby Kerem Shalom crossing lacks “safe and logistically feasible access,” a UN report said late on Monday.

Qatar, which is mediating peace talks, said Gazans “have not received any aid” since May 9.

– Attack on aid convoy –

Israeli police said on Tuesday they had opened an investigation after right-wing activists stopped and looted at least seven aid trucks from Jordan, spilling food on the road.

One of the activists, Hana Giat, said that with the hostages still being held by Hamas, “no humanitarian aid should come in until our hostages are out, safe in their homes.”

Both the United States, which called it “a total outrage,” and Britain said they would raise their concerns about the incident with the Israeli government.

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has called on Israeli authorities to stop the attacks and hold those responsible to account.

“I am outraged by the repeated and still unchecked attacks by Israeli extremists on aid convoys heading to Gaza, including from Jordan. Hundreds of thousands of citizens are going hungry,” Borrell wrote on X late Tuesday.

The bloodiest Gaza war ever erupted after Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, which killed more than 1,170 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures.

Gunmen also seized about 250 hostages, of whom Israeli estimates say 128 remain in Gaza, including 36 who the army says are dead.

Israel’s brutal bombing and ground offensive in Gaza have since killed at least 35,173 people, mostly civilians, according to Israel’s Health Ministry.

Clashes have rocked densely populated Rafah but have also flared up again in northern and central Gaza, months after troops and tanks first entered those areas.

At least five people, including a woman and her child, were killed and several others were injured in two Israeli airstrikes on Gaza City on Tuesday evening, according to the Gaza Civil Protection Organization.

Israel defied a chorus of warnings last week — including from top ally Washington, which halted a shipment of bombs — and sent troops and tanks to eastern Rafah to pursue militants.

– ‘No clarity on how to stop war’ –

Battles and heavy Israeli bombardments have been reported around Rafah, as well as in the Gaza City and Jabalia refugee camps in the north, and in the Nuseirat camp in the center.

The wounded and dead arrived at Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City.

A shirtless man, his chest smeared with blood, lay on a hard bed, hooked up to a monitor. Outside, several men carried a shrouded corpse and placed it in the shade of a tree with blooming red flowers.

Despite threatening to withhold weapons over concerns about an attack on Rafah, US President Joe Biden’s administration informed Congress on Tuesday of a $1 billion arms package for Israel, official sources told AFP.

US State Department spokesman Vedant Patel said earlier Tuesday that while Washington supports military pressure on Hamas, it is not the only way to “completely defeat” the militants.

Patel reiterated Washington’s position that without a political plan for Gaza’s future, militants “will continue to come back and Israel will continue to be threatened,” leading to “this ongoing cycle of violence.”

Momentum in the ceasefire negotiations had increased, Qatar’s prime minister said on Tuesday, but “what happened with Rafah has set us back”.

Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani said that “we are currently in a near stalemate”.

Egypt and the United States have also mediated.

“There is no clarity from the Israeli side on how to stop the war. I don’t think they are considering this as an option,” Sheikh Mohammed said.

On the eve of the “Nakba” commemoration, thousands of people took part in an annual march that took them through the ruins of villages from which Palestinians were expelled during the 1948 war that led to the creation of Israel.

With eyes glistening with tears, Abdul Rahman al-Sabah, 88, recalled how members of the Haganah, a Zionist paramilitary group, forced his family out of Al-Kassayer and “blew up our village.”
