Aid groups warn of devastating consequences of any assault on Rafah after Israel orders tens of thousands to evacuate.
The Israeli army has ordered tens of thousands of Palestinians to leave Rafah amid growing fears of a ground assault on the southern Gaza city, where 1.4 million people displaced by Israel’s war on Gaza have sought shelter.
An Israeli military spokesperson told journalists about 100,000 people in eastern Rafah should evacuate to “an expanded humanitarian area” on the coast.
The order came on Monday as indirect talks between Israel and Hamas over a potential ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza appeared to stall.
