Rafah Airstrikes Claim Dozens of Lives Amidst Growing Threat of Israeli Ground Offensive
A wave of airstrikes in Rafah, the southernmost town in the Gaza Strip, has resulted in the tragic deaths of at least 44 people.
This onslaught comes as over a million civilians, seeking refuge in Rafah, now face the ominous possibility of a comprehensive Israeli ground offensive. In the ongoing conflict against Hamas, Israeli forces have been steadily advancing southward over the past four months.
Rafah, situated on the border with Egypt and once home to approximately 280,000 residents, has transformed into the last bastion of safety for more than half of the Gaza Strip's population, totaling 2.3 million people. As tensions escalate and the specter of a full-scale ground offensive looms, the precarious situation intensifies for civilians seeking shelter in this beleaguered region.
