As an organization committed to humanitarian relief, long-term development, and peaceful coexistence in the Middle East, Anera welcomes the proposed ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas announced by President Biden.

Initial indications are that the plan includes the key elements required to end this horrible stage of the conflict: freeing of Israeli and Palestinian hostages and detainees, an end to the war through a temporary cease-fire with negotiations leading to an enduring ceasefire and peace, and a significant increase in humanitarian aid. The President’s remarks, and prior discussion among Anera, other NGO representatives, and Administration officials, give us some hope that the significant work over the past few weeks undertaken by governments, non-governmental organizations and others in the international humanitarian community will soon bear fruit.

“They said it was safe.”

Late Sunday, an Israeli airstrike in Rafah killed dozens of displaced civilians in tents, causing a fire that spread across the camp. Médecins Sans Frontières reported 28 dead and 180 injured.

The strike, condemned by global leaders, followed the UN’s order for Israel to stop its offensive in southern Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces said they targeted senior Hamas leaders and would investigate the civilian deaths.

One family recounted their terrifying escape after the apartment building they were staying in was hit. “They said it is safe,” said the mother. “There is no safe place in Rafah.” Read the article on NBC.
