The African Union (AU) strongly condemned the Israeli military’s actions in Rafah, southern Gaza, urging the international community to halt what it termed as a “deadly escalation” of the conflict. AU Commission chief Moussa Faki Mahamat expressed firm condemnation of the extension of hostilities to the Rafah crossing, which Israeli tanks seized, impacting humanitarian aid flow into Gaza. The statement highlighted Faki’s profound concern over Israel’s actions in Gaza, resulting in significant loss of life and widespread destruction of essential infrastructure.
