More than a million Palestinians are crowded into the city of Rafah on Gaza’s border with Egypt. Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, in an interview to be aired Sunday, suggested civilians there could flee north in the event of an Israeli ground invasion, saying there are “plenty of areas” in the Palestinian territory that have been cleared by the army. But Israel’s offensive against Hamas has caused widespread destruction elsewhere in the enclave, particularly in the north, and heavy fighting is still taking place in central Gaza and the southern city of Khan Younis. The situation has left people in Rafah uncertain where they would go if Israel sends in troops. FRANCE 24’s Charlotte Hughes and Carys Garland bring us this report.
