The international community remains concerned about a possible Israeli ground operation in the city of Rafah. Australia, New Zealand and Canada published a joint statement this Thursday warning against this project.
This locality on the border with Egypt is now home to 1.3 million people, the majority of the inhabitants of the Palestinian enclave. While the bombings targeting the city have increased in recent days, some have chosen to leave, without knowing where to take shelter. “We spend our days waiting but we don’t know what we are waiting for. An entire family can disappear at once,” one man says.
