B'Tselem, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, Physicians for Human Rights - Israel, and HaMoked petition Israel's Supreme Court to protect civilians in Rafah: The petitioning organizations demand that the IDF: allow the unconditional evacuation of the injured from Rafah, even if there is no advanced coordination; allow the unobstructed passage of ambulances and medical equipment between Rafah and the hospitals located outside the city; prevent injury or threat to medical teams and citizens evacuating the injured or corpses; renew the supply of electricity, water, food and medical supplies to the residents of the village of Tel a-Sultan, that has been subject to total closure for more than three days; and allow access to the medical team assembled by PHR-Israel. The petition also asks the court to order the IDF to open an immediate investigation into the shelling of a crowd of citizens yesterday, and to issue an immediate order prohibiting absolutely shooting into civilian gatherings, even if armed individuals are among them.
