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.
We look with great concern at the reality of the Palestinian brothers in the northern Gaza Strip.
We always demand that aid reach all parts of the Gaza Strip
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 Gaza Strip are unprecedented.
