Israel has sent tanks on raids into Rafah and predicted its war with Hamas in Gaza would continue all year. This is despite an order from the International Court of Justice to end its attacks on the city, where many Palestinians have taken refuge from bombardment elsewhere.
“The situation is scary, with all the shelling - the children are scared. We have no place left to stay. This is the seventh time we have been displaced from where we were, going from one place to another. We are exhausted and tired. For how long?”
Israel appears to be broadening its incursion into Rafah, which has already caused over 1 million people to flee the city.Israel says its incursion is focussed on the Gaza-Egypt border, which it says Hamas has long used to smuggle arms. The comments come as Israel’s military says it has seized control of the entire length of Gaza’s border with Egypt.
Palestinians fleeing Rafah are seeking refuge in makeshift tent camps and other war-ravaged areas, where they lack shelter, food, water and other essentials for survival, the UN says.
