The mayor of Rafah, Gaza’s south-most city, bordering Egypt, has called on the international community to intervene in the face of an Israeli plan to launch a major strike on the town where over a million Palestinian refugees have been displaced since the start of the war.
Meanwhile, the fate of 6-year-old Hind Rajab has finally been revealed. She was killed by the Israeli army in the Tal Al-Hawa area, southwest of Gaza City.
Though belatedly, US Deputy National Security Advisor John Finer has declared that the US has made “missteps” in responding to the crisis since last October 7. This is too little too late for over 100,000 Palestinians who have been killed and wounded so far.
According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 27,947 Palestinians have been killed, and 67,459 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7.
