Human Rights Watch documents Gaza aid cuts

- Human Rights Watch said Israel curtailed aid and caused civilian deaths during the Gaza ceasefire, and reported that Rafah medical evacuations were suspended for six days in April. - UN figures cited by Human Rights Watch show at least 593 aid workers in Gaza have been killed since October 2023, including eight deaths since the ceasefire began. - The U.S.-brokered ceasefire oversight body plans to ask the U.N. Security Council to press Hamas to disarm, a demand whose feasibility is described as doubtful. (washingtonpost.com) (hrw.org)
