UN chief expected in Egypt on the border with Gaza. Fear of an upcoming Israeli ground offensive in the overcrowded town of Rafah.
The Israeli army said on Saturday it had killed more than 170 Palestinian fighters. “We have had enough, I assure you. Drop a bomb on us and free us from this life (...) No human being could bear what is happening to us,” said Turkiya Barbakh, close to victims of strikes in southern Gaza. The UN boss is due to meet humanitarian workers on Saturday on the "Egyptian side" of Rafa.
