Gaza City: The Israeli army, angered by the ground offensive in Rafah, southern Gaza, issued a new order to evacuate Palestinians from the war zones before that. It is reported that the Army has submitted the evacuation plan to the Ministry of War Affairs. However, the information regarding where and how the evacuation has not been released.
Foreign countries and NGOs are putting pressure on Israel not to start a ground war in Rafah.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said on Monday that a land invasion of Rafah was necessary. About 1.4 million people, including those displaced from north-central Gaza, live in Rafah, which borders Egypt. Meanwhile, Israeli-Hamas representatives met in Doha, brokered by Egypt, the US and Qatar, with the aim of a cease-fire and release of hostages. The aim is to bring the ceasefire into effect before the start of Ramadan. 92 people were killed in 24 hours in Gaza, where hunger and poverty continue to intensify.
So far the death toll in the war has reached 29692.
