As Israel continues its invasion of Rafah, huge numbers of Palestinians remain displaced and relying on aid to survive as the war in Gaza continues.
At least 25 Palestinians have been killed, and 50 injured, after Israeli tanks are said to have fired on tents sheltering displaced families in Rafah, according to health officials and emergency workers in Gaza. Witnesses said the latest attack in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, took place in Mawasi, western Rafah, a rural area on the Mediterranean coast that has become filled with makeshift tents.
'I tried to communicate with my husband but was unable to. 'We fled as we were in our clothes, barefoot. I tried to communicate with him but could not.' The Israeli military said it was looking into the strikes at the reported coordinates. It has previously bombed locations in the vicinity of the 'humanitarian zone' in Muwasi.
