Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to continue a “powerful” offensive on the city. Rafah is home to nearly 1.4 million Palestinians, often displaced by Israeli orders.

“If I leave here, I will leave as a corpse,” assures Iyad Shabir, already displaced ten times. French President Emmanuel Macron: An Israeli offensive in Rafah could only lead to an unprecedented humanitarian disaster and would be a turning point in this conflict. ‘For 100 days, we have been showing up at the crossing point and begging them to let us pass, but they won't even listen to us’
