Controlled by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza HamasThe Palestinian city lacks the capacity to deal with the consequences of the Israeli attack on Sunday afternoon, especially after its hospitals were put out of service, the Palestinians said.
Thousands of Palestinians fled to the area when the Israeli military operation in Rafah began earlier this month, according to maps and leaflets distributed a few days earlier, which Israel classified as “humanitarian and safe.”

Palestinians said the latest attack came amid intensified Israeli bombardment of Rafah as well as its ground incursions into the eastern and southern areas of the border town.
“The situation is very serious. The Israeli occupation deliberately attacks civilians everywhere. The Israeli occupation declared it a safe and humanitarian zone and yet it bombed civilians, children and women. “This is the Israeli occupation army,” Marwan al-Hams, director of Al Najar hospital, told the BBC.
Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, said Monday that images from the day of the attack were “testimony to how Rafah has become hell on earth.”
Israeli operations increased after the International Court of Justice on Friday demanded that Israel immediately cease its military activities in Rafah.
