The Gaza Civil Defense has been working tirelessly to transport victims, but the ongoing fires and blocked access by the Israeli occupation forces have made rescue efforts difficult. This attack adds to the already devastating toll of the aggression, with over 35,000 Palestinians killed and more than 80,000 injured in Gaza since the beginning of the war on Gaza.

Palestinian Outrage at Occupation’s Attack
The government media office in Gaza condemned the massacre in a press conference, labeling it as a premeditated act of genocide by the occupation army against civilians and displaced persons. The Palestinian government blamed the Israeli occupation, the American administration, and all countries involved in the genocide for the ongoing atrocities against the Palestinian people.
National and Islamic forces also expressed outrage at the massacre, denouncing it as an act of fascism by the occupation and a deliberate attempt to terrorize defenseless civilians. The factions urged the International Criminal Court and human rights organizations to hold Israeli war criminals accountable for the ongoing genocide.

Hamas called for immediate implementation of the decisions of the International Court of Justice and urgent action to halt the bloodshed of innocent civilians.
The massacre in Rafah has highlighted the failure of the international community, led by the United States, to take meaningful action against the occupation.
