Based on data compiled by the United Nations, at least 1,400 Israelis have been killed while over 3,800 Palestinians have died in Gaza and the West Bank since Hamas launched a surprise attack against Israel on October 7. The Philippines has placed Gaza under Alert Level 4, meaning all its citizens must repatriate. But it’s been impossible to do so – Rafah Crossing, the only identified way out of Gaza, has been impassable and has even been hit by Israeli attacks.Despite days of negotiations, there remains an impasse on how foreigners who want to flee Gaza can leave. “We call on all parties to create safe, rapid and unimpeded passage of humanitarian corridors,” the ASEAN foreign ministers said.
