On Tuesday, United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths cautioned that despite worldwide appeals for Israel to refrain from targeting Rafah in the Gaza Strip, "a ground operation there is on the immediate horizon."
He also said in a statement that Israeli improvements to aid access in Gaza "cannot be used to prepare for or justify a full-blown military assault on Rafah."
