‘Extreme fear and endless anxiety’ as Israel moves into Rafah

Hospital records show at least 25 people were wounded after Israeli artillery fire struck a part of central Rafah, an area Israel did not call on Palestinians to evacuate ahead of its incursion.

“We are living in Rafah in extreme fear and endless anxiety,” said Muhanad Ahmad Qishta, 29.

Israel’s military campaign has been one of the deadliest and most destructive in recent history, reducing large parts of Gaza to rubble.

President Biden has repeatedly warned Prime Minister Netanyahu against launching an invasion of Rafah. But Netanyahu has ignored the statements.
