Yesterday, Israel closed Gaza's crossings in response to the regional escalation, despite the fact that it kept its own ports open. Israel's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories notified that Kerem Shalom and Rafah crossings are operating today.

אתמול ישראל סגרה את המעברים של רצועת עזה עקב ההסלמה באזור, על אף שנמליה שלה נותרו פתוחים. מתפ"ש הודיע כי היום המעברים רפיח וכרם שלום שבו לפעול. בינתיים, בעזה דווח על עלייה במחירים בשל הסגירה.

They're not claims being made, they're facts. All of Israel's ports are open - sea, air & land. So why close Gaza's crossings when Palestinians are already facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, patients need to be evacuated urgently & people need to return home?
Jun 8
📢Important Update:
Contrary to the claims being made, Israel is not arbitrarily blocking the transfer of aid into Gaza. Following the missile attacks launched by Iran against the State of Israel, a number of necessary security adjustments were implemented across the country, including the temporary closure of the crossings into the Gaza Strip. Operating the crossings under fire puts lives at risk, both on the Israeli side and on the Gazan side, and therefore the crossings cannot be operated safely under such conditions.
At the same time, it should be clarified that on the Gazan side of the Kerem Shalom Crossing, the contents of hundreds of aid trucks remain awaiting collection. Subject to security assessments, the collection of these trucks will continue in coordination with the UN and international organizations.
We emphasize that the crossings will be reopened gradually, subject to an ongoing operational assessment and under security restrictions designed to ensure the safety of all personnel present at the crossings on both sides.
COGAT will continue to facilitate the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip, in accordance with its commitments and subject to the necessary security restrictions arising from the current security situation.

Last week, after two and a half years of ongoing delay by both the state and Israel’s Supreme Court, the High Court of Justice accepted the joint petition we filed, led by the @acrionline and joined by Physicians for Human Rights Israel, @HaMokedRights and @Gisha_Access . The Court ordered the Israeli prison authorities to grant the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) full access to detainees and prisoners, access to information regarding them, and access to detention facilities, including private meetings with the detainees themselves.
We welcome this important decision, even though it comes after an unacceptable delay. Visits by the ICRC to places of detention are essential, and preventing them constitutes an ongoing violation that should have ended long ago. Such visits are critical not only for ensuring independent and reliable monitoring, but also for preventing torture, abuse, and life-threatening medical neglect.
Under the Geneva Conventions, the @ICRC has a legal mandate to visit prisoners of war and other detainees in order to assess detention conditions and ensure humane treatment. Today, more than 9,000 Palestinians are held in Israeli detention facilities. Approximately half of them are held without charge and without fair legal proceedings. As we have repeatedly documented, thousands of these detainees are being held under horrific conditions characterized by systematic torture, starvation, and denial of medical care as a matter of declared policy. The denial of ICRC access has contributed to an environment in which widespread and systematic abuse and mistreatment have flourished.
We call on the Israeli authorities to implement the Court’s ruling promptly and without further delay.

בג"ץ קיבל את העתירה שלנו וקבע:
המדינה מפירה את הדין הישראלי והבינלאומי ומחוייבת לאפשר את ביקורי הצלב האדום בבתי הסוהר❗️
מאז תחילת המלחמה התקבלו עדויות זוועה על התעללויות, אלימות והרעבה של האסירים הפלסטינים, ללא יוצא מן הכלל.
העתירה שהגשנו יחד עם ארגונים שותפים התקבלה באופן גורף ופה אחד❗️
אנו מקווים שחזרת הצלב האדום לבתי הסוהר תוביל סוף סוף לריסון המדיניות המתעללת של שב”ס.

BREAKING: In a unanimous ruling, Israel's Supreme Court has accepted ACRI's petition and ordered the government to restore Red Cross visits to Palestinian security detainees.
The court found the government's blanket ban violated both Israeli and international law.
For the first time in nearly three years, the roughly 9,000 Palestinian security detainees held in Israeli prisons and military facilities will receive visits from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) – visits that monitor detention conditions, hear complaints, and pass information to families.
Israel banned all ICRC access at the start of the war on October 7, 2023, and kept it in place for over two and a half years. Since then, harrowing testimonies have emerged of abuse, violence, and the starvation of Palestinian detainees – with no exceptions made for anyone. The government justified the ban as a security measure tied to the hostages held in Gaza, yet the ban remained in place even after the last hostage was returned in January 2026.
Throughout the war, the government made a point of disregarding Israeli and international law. But the Israel Prison Service (IPS) – the agency running Israel's prisons, under the extremist Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir – was an ignoble standout.
We hope the return of the Red Cross to Israel's prisons will finally bring some restraint to the IPS's abusive practices.

“One case that won't leave me is of a woman who lost her son while he was in her arms. From the intensity of the shock and pain, she refused to release him for burial and held his body in her arms for two days.”
A report by Gisha and the Gaza Community Mental Health Programmetells the story of women’s access to mental health services during two years of attacks on the Strip through the eyes of mental health professionals. Listen to the testimony of one of them.
