EU urges Israel to open more land humanitarian corridors in Gaza. Commissioner for Crisis Management warns that aid shipments by air and sea “are not enough” to avoid “imminent famine.” Netanyahu rejects “international pressure” and promises to “enter” Rafah.

25 NGOs that operate in Gaza call for a ceasefire in a joint statement released this Thursday in which they point out that "the only way to respond to the humanitarian needs in the Strip is to achieve an immediate and permanent ceasefire,” they say.
