Slaughter in Rafah as US agrees billions in military aid for Israel

AT least 22 people, including 18 children were killed in an overnight air strike on Rafah today as the US approved billions of additional dollars in military aid to Israel.

The US House of Representatives passed a $95 billion (£76.8bn) international aid package on Saturday night, with about $26bn (£21bn) in support for Israel’s missile defence systems and humanitarian assistance.

It will be signed off by President Joe Biden later this week once the Senate approves the legislative package.
