Ahead of the planned invasion of Rafah, Israel has proposed setting up extensive tent cities for the city's population to be evacuated.
With the help of these accommodations, the feared next humanitarian catastrophe in the war in Israel should be prevented.
This was reported by the US magazine
Wall Street Journal
, citing officials from neighboring Egypt.
A total of 15 camps, each with around 25,000 tents, are to be built in the southwestern part of the Gaza Strip.
According to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, the neighboring country Egypt would be responsible for the construction and operation of the tent cities.
According to the report, field hospitals and commercial kitchens should ensure that people are cared for in the tent cities.
Rafah is considered the last major bastion of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The plans for a military offensive on Rafah were met with a lot of international criticism.
According to a report by the
dpa
news agency , Stéphane Dujarric, spokesman for the United Nations (UN) in New York, called on the army to better protect the civilian population in the war in Israel.
He rejected the Netanyahu government's request for UN staff to help evacuate civilians from Rafah.
“We will not participate in the displacement of people,” Dujarric said on Monday evening (February 12).
On the same day, Israel reported the release of two hostages from Hamas captivity.
France with new
peace initiative
for
war in Israel
Meanwhile, France has made a proposal to Lebanon to end hostilities on the border with Israel.
This is reported by the US news agency
Reuters
, citing officials from both France and Lebanon.
As part of a three-stage plan, the fighters of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah should first withdraw from the border area.
This is intended to prevent the war in Israel from spreading to other fronts.

In return, Israel should stop its air strikes on the region.
After a ten-day de-escalation process, negotiations on the controversial border between Israel and Lebanon are to be resumed.
Representatives of Hezbollah, which is allied with Hamas, had previously called for an end to the offensive in the Gaza Strip as a prerequisite for a ceasefire in northern Israel.
