ROME - At least 20 Palestinians were killed over the weekend in Israeli attacks on Rafah, the Gaza city previously designated a safe zone by the Israeli army and where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians had fled.
This was stated by the United Nations humanitarian agency Ocha.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected in Saudi Arabia today, the first stop on his fifth trip to the region since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas.
The head of American diplomacy will also visit Qatar, Egypt, Israel and the West Bank.
The objective of the mission is to encourage a truce in the fighting between Israel and Hamas
While claiming to continue to support "Israel's right to defend itself," the United States shows growing frustration with the Jewish state's government.
In Israel, Blinken will push to increase the delivery of food, water and medicine to the Gaza Strip, where the humanitarian situation is disastrous according to NGOs.
