Fear in Gaza increases. At this hour, Gazans tremble at Israel’s firm steps in its intention to invade the city of Rafah, in the south of the Strip. Thousands of Palestinians are fleeing the area, mainly from the eastern neighborhoods. An escape that is made even more complicated by Israel’s intense and incessant bombings.

The bombs are causing panic in an unbearably crushed population. Their destiny is that of a refugee camp in which there is no food or water. Definitely, There is nothing in a wasteland among the mud that Israel calls “humanitarian expansion.” It is evident that Israel uses euphemisms to refer to something that the UN calls “a recipe for disaster.”

This is the Al-Mawasi area, which can be consulted on the map that appears in the images above these lines. It is located about 20 kilometers from Rafah, near Khan Yunis. NGOs never tire of repeating that it is not a safe area to which desperate Gazans flee as best they can. Many put their minor children in the trunks of cars while they carry the little they have.

Israel has issued evacuation orders to Gazans in the area through mobile text messages, calls and pamphlets like the one seen in the main video of this news. In them they urge them to run for their lives, while they tell them where to go and where not to. “Refrain from returning to the north,” read the leaflets. Normally, the Israeli Army has left everything devastated there

The fear of this possible Israeli invasion in Rafah It is enormous and the international reactions have not been long in coming. During the afternoon of this same Monday, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, reiterated his position to the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. In a phone call, the Democrat asked him do not invade the area as long as there is no effective evacuation plan for civilians.

For its part, the United Nations Palestinian Refugee Agency, UNRWA, has announced devastating consequences. At the same time, the Hamas group speaks of very dangerous escalation.
