The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Rafah has been informed by Israeli authorities that fighting will persist in western Rafah, as reported on Wednesday. The ICRC spokesperson in Jerusalem, Sarah Davies, stated that the organization lacks precise details about the operation and has not received an evacuation order. Consequently, ICRC's activities, including those at the field hospital, will continue uninterrupted.
In response to the situation, the ICRC is implementing additional internal security and safety measures. Despite the circumstances, the ICRC has decided to remain at its current location in the Shams safe house and is enhancing security protocols.
