Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that military operations in the Gazan city of Rafah will be completed before the beginning of Ramadan on March 10th. The news has sparked concern from the United Nations and the Saudi Arabian government, who have called for a meeting of the U.N. Security Council to address the situation.
The ongoing military operations in Rafah have resulted in the displacement of approximately 1.4 million Gazans, many of whom have been forced to move homes multiple times since the incursion began four months ago. The residents now find themselves without adequate shelter, with around a million people living in makeshift tents made of plastic sheeting. The scarcity of food has become a pressing issue, leaving the population in dire circumstances.
