THE Israeli offensive on Rafah heralds the opening of a new and terrible chapter in what has already become one of the world’s worst man-made humanitarian crises.
Military operations threaten to critically undermine the operation of the Rafah and Karem Abu Salem crossings, essential entry points for the limited amount of aid that’s been allowed to trickle into the Gaza trip.
Rafah’s main healthcare facility, the Abu Yousuf Najjar hospital, has been forced to close and the city’s entire healthcare system is now at the point of collapse. Over 300,000 civilians are thought to have fled an area once designated as a “safe zone.”
