UN chief Guterres warns Israel of a “humanitarian nightmare”. Israel suspects the last “bastions of Hamas” to be in the south of Gaza.

More than 1.3 million refugees are staying in Rafah. Fighting in the city could result in countless deaths. According to Hamas' latest figures, which cannot be independently verified, more than 27,700 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the Israeli offensive began. The war between Israel and Hamas has now lasted four months.
