Israeli media reported on the 28th that the government and military are making detailed plans for ground operations to evacuate residents of Rafah in the south. The French government has announced that it will resume funding for UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees), which provides humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip.

France will contribute more than 30 million euros, or more than 4.9 billion yen, by the end of this year. Despite the worsening situation, countries such as Canada, Sweden, and Australia announced this month that they would resume contributions.
