At the end of Operation Cast Lead in 2009, then Israeli Foreign Minister Zipi Livni signed an agreement with Egypt and the Americans to prevent smuggling in the Philadelphi Corridor through supervision and special measures in exchange for the IDF's withdrawal from the Strip.
Livni promised that if Hamas return to smuggling, the IDF will invade. A month later missiles were already being smuggled into Rafah....

A guerra é um horror, não desvie o olhar: crianças são amputadas sem anestesia em Gaza - ICL Notícias

NEW YORK – As hostilities heighten across the Middle East, the concern for Jason Knapp – and, by his estimation, for other humanitarian workers in Gaza – is what a potential escalation of the conflict might mean for the almost two million displaced people who remain in dire conditions, and who have great needs ahead of the winter months. “As the situation throughout the Middle East deteriorates, the fear is that there’s less focus on finding a s…

"The last attack on al-Mawasi was horrible," Mohammed Abu Lebda wrote to me recently, from Gaza.
