Recent airstrikes in Rafah, Gaza have caused devastation, with the latest strike targeting al-Mawasi where displaced Palestinians had sought refuge in tents. The Israeli authorities had advised civilians to move to this area for safety, only to then target the tents with tank shells, resulting in the deaths of 21 people, including 12 women.
This tragic event follows an Israeli airstrike that caused a deadly blaze in a tent camp just two days prior, resulting in the loss of at least 45 lives. The international community has condemned these attacks, with the United Nations Security Council calling for an emergency session to address the situation in Rafah.
Palestinian refugees have been fleeing Rafah in large numbers, with over 1 million individuals having evacuated since the Israeli invasion of the city began three weeks ago. The ongoing violence in the region continues to escalate, prompting urgent action from global organizations and governments to address the humanitarian crisis.
