GENEVA, Oct. 1 (Xinhua) — The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said in a statement on Wednesday that due to the escalation of fighting in Gaza City in the northern Gaza Strip, the organization has temporarily closed its local office and transferred staff to other locations in the southern part of the enclave to ensure their safety.
The statement notes that civilians are being killed, forcibly displaced, and forced to survive in dire conditions. Emergency services, including the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and the Civil Defense, are tirelessly providing assistance, "but their movement and ability to safely reach civilians is severely restricted."
The ICRC pledged to continue supporting civilians in Gaza City through its offices in Deir el-Balah and Rafah, should the situation permit, and to resume activities in Gaza City once the situation improves.
The statement calls for an immediate ceasefire and demands that Israel ensure the basic needs of the civilian population. It emphasizes that medical and rescue personnel, as well as related facilities, must be respected and protected, and that humanitarian aid must be provided quickly and unhindered.
