Rafah fears for safety: Israel intensifies attacks on southern Gaza

At least 42 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Rafah in southern Gaza since dawn. Calls are growing against a large-scale Israeli military offensive there.
The UN, the US and aid agencies say an attack on Gaza's southernmost city would be a catastrophe.
More than a million displaced people are sheltering in Rafah, in what are being described as 'dire' conditions.

Al Jazeera’s Felix Nyawara reports.

It’s absolutely heartbreaking situation. Evil heartless people can act like this

It was never about the hostages, it was always about land grab.

❤Was surprised to learn that the West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem have been under occupation for 55+ years 😵, according to the international law and UN resolutions (1967-2023). I've come to believe that justice needs power to enforce it. ⚖❤

In the meantime Egypt is watching without guilt

Every day my opnion of Israelis sinks to a previously unthinkalble low. Recent Poll shows most of them actually support this (~90%).

I pray South Africa is documenting all these blatant breaches of the ICJ Order and makes another compelling case to ICJ on Israel’s conduct this month. Maybe then the ICJ will expressly issue a full ceasefire order and hold Israel, its leaders and other states complicit to these events fully accountable.

"Israel cannot claim the right of self-defence against a threat that emanates from the territory it occupies – from a territory that is kept under belligerent occupation.”

It's almost unbelievable in this day and age, how can they get away with it.

Israel is creating its worst nightmare: a generation of avengers.

Wtf are they doing, and what is the world

[tasnimmohamed]

Allah knows everything and also sees and hears he never forgets and also he is in charge of everything May Allah make it easy for them.

[dont_talkme]

I dont understand that all people in comments keep blaming US, Isreal and everyone else but no one says anything about middle eastern countries themselves to not help or take refugee? I also do not see anyone saying things about kids killed in sudan, pakistan, yemen, syria?

Seems like double standards.

[akpewebiakolo]

How come none of the Palestinians ever mention Hamas when you interview them?....it's as if the IDF is fighting only the Gaza civilians 😮

Yaa Rabb, all is in your knowledge, send help Yaa Rabb.

Where is salman Soudia Arabia, only words not

Justice and morality are a joke in this world...

[whocares-txnl]

How AJ does ignore presence and effect of Hamas ?
