"Israel's Bombardment of Rafah Escalates Amid Growing Concerns for Gaza's Civilian Casualties"

At least 26 people have been killed in an Israeli air strike on Rafah in southern Gaza, where tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians have sought shelter. The war between Israel and Hamas has intensified, with fighting now raging across the entire Palestinian enclave. International calls for a ceasefire have been ignored by Israel, despite warnings of a worsening humanitarian catastrophe. The United Nations estimates that 1.9 million out of Gaza's 2.3 million people have been displaced, and Palestinians in Gaza are facing dire conditions with limited access to food, water, medicine, and fuel for cooking.
