Over 1 million forcibly displaced from Rafah, Unrwa says
The Israeli military has forcibly displaced over one million Palestinians from Rafah after expanding its aerial and ground attacks there last month, according to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.
In a post on social media platform X, Unrwa said thousands of families are now taking shelter in damaged and destroyed facilities in Khan Younis, a city north of Rafah that was heavily bombed between January and April.
"Conditions are unspeakable," Unrwa said.
Forced displacement has pushed over 1 million people away from Rafah.
