Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock criticizes Israel for plans to launch an offensive in the city of Rafah, which is overcrowded with refugees. Thousands of people have already died as a result of Israel's ongoing military operation in the Gaza Strip.

The population in the sealed-off coastal area is now threatened with famine. The catastrophic supply situation is promoting new terror, says the Green politician. Baerbocks will travel on Monday to Israel and the West Bank to meet with Palestinian leaders.
