Khan Younis, Gaza Strip – In Gaza, freedom of movement, essential under international humanitarian law, has become a tool of control, exacerbated by Israel’s actions during the war that began in October 2023. The Rafah border crossing, previously a vital outlet for aid, has been effectively shut down, restricting humanitarian access and medical evacuations. Israeli authorities have imposed strict controls over movement, leading to severe consequences for food supply, humanitarian assistance, and civilian rights. Advocacy groups highlight these practices as systematic violations of international obligations, emphasizing the dire impact on the civilian population in Gaza.
