Displaced Palestinians from Gaza's southernmost city of Rafah are reportedly fleeing amid intensified airstrikes and the looming threat of a ground offensive. Seeking shelter from the escalating violence, many are making their way north towards Deir el-Bala, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
The situation in Gaza remains dire, with the UN relief agency estimating that 84 percent of health facilities in the region have been impacted by the ongoing attacks. Additionally, more than 70 percent of civilian infrastructure has been destroyed or severely damaged since the beginning of the conflict.
