Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majid Al-Ansari: There is no safe place in the Gaza Strip. We clearly reject any attack on Rafah.
The situation in Rafah is very worrying, with about one and a half million people there. Negotiations on a new prisoner exchange deal are continuing despite the challenges we face. The deteriorating humanitarian situation and the extent of destruction in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip are unprecedented. We always demand that aid reach all parts of theGaza Strip.
