The ICRC and the American Red Cross are now labeling the situation in Gaza a humanitarian crisis as well. ARC is sending $250,000 in relief aid and the ICRC is coordinating with the MDA and the PRCS to implement relief including hospital supplies, medical support and relief supplies (and other stuff like keeping the generators going at Shifa hospital Both MDA and PRCS are part of the IFRC since 2006, in case there are some to-be-left-unnamed people who would like to renew their insane claims of ICRC anti-semitism.
The ARC press release is here:

Glossary:
ICRC - International Committee of the Red Cross
IFRC - International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
ARC - American Red Cross (member of IFRC)
MDA - Magen David Adom (member of IFRC)
PRCS - Palestinian Red Crescent Society (member of IFRC)
Remember how I said that humanitarian crises meant humanitarian groups asserted their rights to provide relief and care for the sick and wounded in conflict areas?
