The United Nations has expressed concerns over the Israeli evacuation orders in Rafah and the ground operation, emphasizing that the closure of the crossings will hinder the delivery of aid and fuel, further worsening the situation for over a million people, including 600,000 children, living in the area.

In addition to the attacks in Rafah, the Israeli occupation forces continued their genocidal war in the rest of the Gaza Strip. A recent Israeli bombing in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza City resulted in the martyrdom of seven citizens, including children. The occupation forces have also targeted agricultural land in the central Gaza Strip, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the region.

Despite the ongoing aggression, the Israeli occupation announced the reopening of the Kerem Shalom crossing in the southeast of the Gaza Strip. However, the toll of the aggression continues to rise, with tens of thousands of citizens martyred and injured since the start of the brutal attacks.
