Danger Over Gaja Rafa: Clouds of danger are looming over Rafah, The Red Cross also raised its hand in front of Israel

People can’t evacuate from Rafah

Since Iran’s attack, Israel has been continuously attacking Gaza. Meanwhile, a Red Cross official said on Tuesday that considering the current situation and circumstances, it is not possible to evacuate Palestinians from Rafah, the southernmost city of Gaza.

The statement of the Red Cross agency comes when Israel has indicated that Rafah can be attacked at any time. Let us tell you, that the Israeli army considers Rafah in southern Gaza as the last stronghold of Hamas. However, the international community has urged Israel to exercise restraint as more than one million Palestinians have taken refuge in the city due to the war.

What should I say, Carboni?

Fabrizio Carboni, a top Red Cross official, said in an interview with a news agency that after seeing the destruction caused by the war in Gaza, it is not yet clear where people seeking refuge in Rafah will go. While more than 1.5 million Palestinians had taken refuge in Gaza. Several thousand people have moved north towards their homes. Because elsewhere in the Palestinian territories the war has largely stopped.

It is not possible to expel the Palestinians

Red Cross official Carboni has said that under the current circumstances it is not possible to evacuate the Palestinians taking refuge in Rafah. He also said that we do not have any information about the plan to evacuate Palestinians from Rafah. Let us tell you, at the Dubai International Humanitarian Aid and Development Conference, Carboni, Middle East Regional Director of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), said that it is rumored that a major operation is being prepared in Rafah. When we see the level of destruction in Gaza and the North, it is not clear to us where people will be taken, and where they will be able to get decent shelter and essential services.

The countdown to war begins

Carboni further said, that at present, we do not see any way to evacuate the citizens. Considering the level of destruction, people are exhausted, some of them injured and sick, with limited access to food and essential services. It is very challenging to get everyone out safely. “Everyone is counting down to the war in Rafah,” Jan Egeland, head of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), told a news conference. He further said that the attack on Rafah would lead to “a situation of the apocalypse”.

Netanyahu gave signals

A day after Netanyahu hinted at an invasion of Rafah, reports said Israel is building a city in Khan Yunis to house Palestinians displaced by the fighting in Rafah. In this case, the Associated Press shared satellite photos, although the Haaretz newspaper said that Egypt was building the complex. In another report, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Israeli army planned to evacuate Palestinian civilians from Rafah before the offensive.

People will be evacuated safely

Netanyahu has indicated that Israel will attack Rafah, although it is also being said that people will be evacuated. It has not been told yet how people will be evacuated. In its report, WSJ quoted Israeli and Egyptian officials as saying that it may take several weeks to evacuate everyone. These citizens will be evacuated in collaboration with the United States, Egypt, and other Arab countries. The report further said that after evacuation, civilians may be taken to many other areas besides Khan Yunis. Where tents and food along with hospital facilities will also be available.
