Around 100,000 displaced to Rafah after increased attacks in central Gaza

An estimated 100,000 Palestinians have been forced to flee to Rafah, the Gaza Strip's most densely populated area, after increased Israeli attacks in recent days in central governorates, according to the UN. 

Some have been displaced already and forced to move again. 

Their relocation to Rafah, the southernmost town in Gaza, has "further exacerbated conditions related to the already overcrowded space and limited resources", the UN has said.
