The International Committee of the Red Cross says it has been forced to temporarily suspend operations in Gaza City and relocate staff due to escalating hostilities.
“The ICRC will continue to strive to provide support to civilians in Gaza City, whenever circumstances allow, from our offices in Deir al-Balah and Rafah, which remain fully operational,” it said in a statement, referring to areas further south in the Strip.
