UN chief: Clear consensus any assault on Gaza’s Rafah will cause humanitarian disaster
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says there is a clear international consensus that any ground assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah would cause a humanitarian catastrophe.
He spoke during a press conference at Egypt’s al-Arish Airport near the Rafah border crossing with Gaza Saturday, after Israel reiterated a threat to launch a major military operation in Rafah, packed with displaced people after five months of war.
Rafah is Hamas’s last stronghold in Gaza where Israel has vowed to destroy the terror group following its October 7 massacre.
