A little earlier in the morning,Israeli army announced that it“would abstain” to strike from 8 a.m. to noon the evacuation corridors linking the north to the south of the Gaza Strip. “For your safety, take advantage of the short time to move south from the northern Gaza Strip”communicated an army spokesperson on. Information then denied by Daniel Hagari, another spokesperson for the Israeli army during a press briefing.

Izzat al-Rishq, head of Hamas’ media office, also said there was no “no truth” in this ceasefire information. At the Rafah border crossing on the Egyptian side, the only one not controlled by Israel, humanitarian aid is flowing from several capitals, but still does not get through. “I hope to hear good news this morning about the entry of aid into Gaza through Rafah (…) to help the million people who have moved south and those already living there”declared the head of UN emergency operations, Martin Griffiths, in a press release.
