"We need to make sure that 1.4 million people or at least a significant amount of the 1.4 million will move," Hagari told reporters at a briefing. Rafah has swelled in size in the last months as Palestinians in Gaza have fled Israeli invasion and bombardment in nearly every other corner of the territory.At the start of the war, Israel directed evacuees to a slice of undeveloped besieged land along Gaza's Mediterranean coast that it designated as"safe zone". But aid groups said there were no real plans in place to receive large numbers of displaced there. Israeli strikes also targeted the area.
