UNRWA: 80,000 have fled Rafah since Israel stepped up operations there

The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees and their descendants says that about 80,000 people have fled Rafah in the three days since Israel intensified military operations in the south Gaza city.

“Since Israeli forces military operation intensified on 6 May, around 80,000 people have fled Rafah, seeking refuge elsewhere,” UNRWA says on X, formerly Twitter, warning that “the toll on these families is unbearable. Nowhere is safe.”
