The city of Rafah, where more than a million Palestinians threatened by the war in Gaza have taken refuge, is the scene of intense Israeli strikes on Saturday February 3. Diplomacy is trying to impose a new truce against the backdrop of regional conflagration.

27,131 people have been killed in Gaza since the start of the war on October 7. Nearly 1.5 million displaced people are crowded into the south of the Rafah enclave in extreme conditions with little water, little food.
