Rafah Municipality: More than 50 thousand citizens without any basic services

Gaza - Ma'an - Rafah Mayor Dr. Ahmed Al-Sufi confirmed that more than 50,000 citizens are besieged inside Rafah neighborhoods without any basic services or necessities of life due to the ongoing aggression. Dr. Al-Sufi said in a statement that reached Ma'an: "The municipality crews and emergency committees cannot provide any basic services to the residents trapped inside the neighborhoods of Rafah, which exacerbates the extent of the dangers facing them." He explained that ambulance and civil defense crews are unable to enter most areas of Rafah to respond to distress calls and evacuate the wounded and martyrs. He pointed out that the occupation forces are deliberately isolating Rafah from the world in order to hide the extent of the crimes and atrocities committed against the people of Rafah, considering that the documented scenes from Rafah of the martyrs in the streets represent a drop in the ocean of the crimes of genocide committed by the occupation mercenaries in Rafah. Dr. Al-Sufi called on interna tional community institutions and human rights organizations to intervene to curb the occupation's crimes and rescue tens of thousands of people trapped inside Rafah neighborhoods.
