Nearly a million people have fled Rafah in the past three weeks, the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) reported, and that number is expected to rise following a weekend Israeli strike on a refugee camp. tents that killed 45 people and sparked global condemnation.
UNRWA tweeted on Tuesday that there was “no safe place to go and amid shelling, lack of food and water, piles of waste and unsuitable living conditions” in Rafah. “Day after day, providing assistance and protection becomes almost impossible,” the text continues, calling for an immediate ceasefire.
