Egypt Condemns Israel Deliberate Strikes on Rafah

Egypt strongly condemned the deadly Israeli airstrikes on tents housing displaced civilians in the southern Gaza city of Rafah on Sunday. 

According to Ahram Online, the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Monday, "This deliberate attack represents another flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and the fourth Geneva Convention for the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 1949." 

Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also called for immediate international intervention to secure a ceasefire.

"Egypt reiterated its call for urgent intervention from the UN Security Council and influential global actors to achieve an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and halt military operations in Rafah. The international community has a legal and humanitarian responsibility to protect Palestinian civilians from exposure to life-threatening dangers," the Ministry underlined.
