It was a glimmer of familial normality in Gaza for a nine-year-old and her younger sibling that ended in tragedy. Hanan is one of thousands of critically ill patients waiting for medical evacuation from Gaza but unable to leave following the closure of the Rafah crossing to Egypt in early May. The only hope for many is to be evacuated through the Rafah crossing into Egypt and get treatment in neighboring countries. Since May 7, not one single case has been able to leave through Rafah, creating a backlog of desperation and severe cases. “The Rafah crossing should be reopened as quickly as possible,” Peeperkorn says, “or there should be an alternative crossing or mechanism actually applied because we cannot leave these critical patients.

Mourning a person who was killed on Thursday when Gaza residents rushed toward aid trucks and Israeli forces guarding the convoy opened fire. Its bombing campaign and ground invasion have decimated Hamas’s control over northern Gaza, leaving both a gaping security vacuum and a humanitarian catastrophe. U.N. aid convoys carrying essential goods to northern Gaza have been suspended for days. Like Mr. Aqel, Mr. Khoudary said that he had organized some of the trucks that transported aid as part of the relief initiative involving Israel. Some were aid trucks he had dispatched, while others were organized by other contractors, he said.
