About 1.4 million Palestinians, displaced several times, have sought shelter in the city that borders Egypt.
The Israeli military has launched air raids on Rafah in southern Gaza after warning of an imminent ground offensive in the border city where an estimated 1.4 million Palestinians have sought shelter since fleeing attacks across the enclave.
More than four months of relentless attacks by land, air and sea have flattened much of the Gaza Strip, pushing its population of 2.3 million to the brink of famine, according to the United Nations.
International concern has in recent weeks centred on Rafah, where a ground invasion could displace hundreds of thousands of Palestinians across the frontier with Egypt.
The last city untouched by Israeli ground troops, Rafah also serves as the main entry point of humanitarian aid via neighbouring Egypt for desperately needed relief supplies.
Israel has warned it will expand its ground operations into Rafah if Palestinian armed group Hamas does not free the remaining captives held in Gaza by the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in March.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Thursday that 99 people had been killed across the strip overnight, most of them women, children and elderly people.
The death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza has increased to 29,410 since October 7, the ministry said, adding that at least 69,465 people have been wounded.
Brett McGurk, the White House coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa, was expected to arrive in Israel on Thursday – his second stop in the region after Egypt as part of efforts by the United States to advance a deal that would see the captives exchanged for Palestinian prisoners and to broker a truce.
Matthew Miller, spokesperson of the US Department of State, said Washington was hoping for an “agreement that secures a temporary ceasefire where we can get the hostages out and get humanitarian assistance”, but declined to give details on the ongoing negotiations.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted the army will keep fighting until it has destroyed Hamas and freed the remaining captives.

Today they hit the Israeli port of Eilat, a British ship in the Gulf of Aden and a US destroyer in the Red Sea with a number of ballistic missiles and drones.
Today Yemeni armed forces say they have carried out three more military operations, to cost the West billions and force the end of Israeli Genocide in Gaza.
A statement issued on Thursday said the operations were launched “in support of the oppressed Palestinian people, and as part of the response to the American-British aggression on our country”.

Yemen’s Houthi militia has stated it plans more attacks on United States and British warships.
The Iran-aligned group’s statement, released on Wednesday, said all US and British warships participating in “aggression” against Yemen are targets. The statement stoked concern over the simmering tensions in the region as well as increased disruption to world trade. The group said the attacks are a response to Israel’s military operations in Gaza.
Since 2019, excess cardiovascular mortality has appeared in the United Kingdom, the same as in other countries, so it is not a local phenomenon.
Finally, it has had to be admitted by the British Heart Foundation (BHF), who recognizes that we are suffering from the worst cardiovascular crisis in living memory, although The Guardian newspaper softens the expression a little: it is the worst cardiovascular crisis in a decade (1).
The BHF refers to “premature deaths” because the figures refer to those under 75 years of age. But this is not the case, because the situation is even worse among those over 75 years of age, that is, the excess cardiovascular mortality among those over 75 years of age is explained in the same way as among those under 75 years of age.
Cardiovascular mortality has been falling steadily in England since 2004. The first year of the pandemic, 2020, the situation is reversed and the “experts” attribute the excess mortality to the coronavirus. It was the great alibi: the new virus caused heart attacks and strokes.https://twitter.com/LaurenWitzkeDE/status/1758876322439336243
As time goes by, the alibi no longer works because vaccinations began in 1921, three years ago and there was no doubt that they were “effective.” Thanks to them, doctors would be able to control the pandemic.
But during the first year of mass vaccination the trend did not change but, on the contrary, worsened. The new vaccines were worse than the new virus. The conclusion is evident: the virus was not to blame for the excess cardiovascular mortality.
If those who died prematurely in 2020 were due to the virus, they could not also have died the following year. Therefore, the causes of excess mortality from 2021 are different.
In October 2023 WikiLeaks published on X (formerly Twitter) a copy of a leaked Israeli intelligence document. According to the Hebrew website Mekomit, which originally published the document, the document was verified by an Israeli Ministry of Intelligence official. The document outlines plans to displace Palestinians from Gaza into the Sinai desert. An English version […]
