According to CCTV News on May 4,Pennpursuit38000In response to repeated claims by the Israel Defense Forces to carry out military operations against Rafah, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and the World Health Organization have issued warnings that this will lead to a further deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.

Lake, spokesman for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, said on May 3 local time that a large-scale Israeli military operation against Rafah "will cause a large number of civilian casualties and an incredible blow to humanitarian operations throughout the Gaza Strip."

Lake, spokesman for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs: if [Israel attacks Rafah], hundreds of thousands of people there will be at imminent risk of death. We therefore believe that if this happens, the situation warned by the Emergency Relief Coordinator could turn into a massacre of civilians and at the same time deal an incredible blow to humanitarian operations throughout the Gaza Strip, because it operates mainly in Rafah.

Piper Cohen, World Health Organization (WHO) 's representative in the occupied Palestinian territory, said on the 3rd that although World Health Organization (WHO) had worked out a contingency plan for the situation in Rafah, including the construction of a new field hospital, the plan was not enough to prevent the death toll from rising sharply. If the Israeli army insists on launching a large-scale military operation against Rafah, it will further displace more civilians and further worsen the situation of material supply.

Piper Cohen, World Health Organization (WHO) 's representative in the occupied Palestinian territory: because of the current medical supplies, almost all medical supplies are transported through the Rafah port. As you can see, this is actually part of the contingency plan. We are very worried that if [the Israeli army] takes military action, the Rafah crossing may be closed.

Currently, more than 1.2 million people have taken refuge in Rafah, the southernmost tip of the Gaza Strip, and only 33 per cent of the 36 hospitals in the Gaza Strip and 30 per cent of primary health centres can play a role to some extent due to constant attacks and shortages of important medical supplies, fuel and health personnel. World Health Organization (WHO) called for an immediate and lasting ceasefire and the removal of obstacles to the provision of emergency humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip. The organization also called for active protection of medical and health facilities to ensure the safety of health and humanitarian workers.

Hamas said it would arrive in Cairo on the 4th to negotiate a cease-fire.

According to CCTV news, a senior official of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) said on May 3 local time that the Hamas delegation will arrive in the Egyptian capital Cairo on the 4th to negotiate a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip.

The Hamas official said that after arriving in Cairo on the 4th, the Hamas delegation will respond in writing to Israel's latest proposal for a cease-fire in Gaza and the release of detained persons. Several Egyptian government officials also confirmed the news and said that Egypt would meet with the Hamas delegation to discuss the latest progress in the cease-fire negotiations.

Hamas officials said in a statement that Hamas has recently studied in detail the negotiating agreement it has received and will work to reach an agreement that benefits the Palestinians. Regarding Hamas's statement, local media reported that it showed Hamas's positive attitude towards the negotiations.

Earlier in the day, Usama Hamdan, a senior Hamas official, said in an interview with the media that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was the "main obstacle" to Palestinian-Israeli cease-fire negotiations. He accused Netanyahu of being a "blocker" of previous rounds of negotiations, while Netanyahu's recent threat to attack Rafah to "completely eliminate Hamas" showed that he was "trying to undermine any possibility of reaching a ceasefire agreement."

Since October last year, the Israeli army has launched a ground offensive from north to south in the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu has previously approved the Israeli army to carry out ground operations in Rafah, and the Israeli army has recently increased its air strikes against Rafah. Netanyahu said on April 30 that the Israeli army will attack Rafah regardless of whether an agreement is reached between Israel and Hamas.

On May 3, local time, the Wall Street Journal quoted an Egyptian official as saying that Israel gave Hamas a week to accept the cease-fire agreement, otherwise it would start military operations in Rafah.

Turkey says the suspension of import and export trade with Israel is intended to force a cease-fire

According to CCTV news, the Turkish Ministry of Trade issued a statement on May 2, suspending all import and export trade related to Israel. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said today that Turkey has taken trade measures to force Israel to implement a ceasefire and allow more humanitarian aid to enter the Gaza Strip.

Erdogan said that Turkey is well aware of how some countries will use Turkey's trade restrictions on Israel to attack Turkey, and that Turkey's sole purpose is to force the Israeli government of Netanyahu to achieve a ceasefire. He stressed that Turkey's goal was achieved when a cease-fire in Gaza was reached and sufficient humanitarian aid was allowed to enter the Gaza Strip. According to Erdogan, the trade volume between Turkey and Israel reached 9.5 billion US dollars.

Hamas welcomed the Turkish decision, calling it support for Palestinian rights.

Israeli Foreign Minister Katz said the Turkish decision violated international trade agreements. The Israeli Foreign Ministry said in a statement on the 3rd that after discussions with the Ministry of economy and the tax Bureau, the Israeli Foreign Ministry decided to take measures to reduce Turkey's economic ties with the Palestinian West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Promote international economic and trade organizations to impose sanctions on Turkey for violating trade agreements. At the same time, Israel will draw up an alternative list of imported Turkish products and support the export sector affected by Turkey's decision.

On the 3rd, Israeli Minister of economy, Trade and Industry Barkat said on social media that Israel had complained to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development about Turkey's decision, saying that Turkey's move blatantly violated maritime trade law and undermined the continuity of global supply.

On the 9th of last month, the Turkish Ministry of Trade said in a statement that Turkey would impose export restrictions on 54 products, including cement, steel and building materials, on the same day. The statement said the decision will remain in force until Israel declares a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and allows humanitarian supplies to continue to enter the Gaza Strip.
