The African Union has strongly condemned Israel’s military actions in southern Gaza’s Rafah, urging the international community to intervene and stop the escalating violence.
AU Commission chief Moussa Faki Mahamat expressed extreme concern over the war’s devastating impact on human life and called for collective action to end the deadly escalation.
The move came as Israeli tanks captured the key Rafah crossing, a critical corridor for humanitarian aid into besieged Gaza. Despite Israel reopening some border crossings for aid, the situation remains dire.
