UN warns of impending disaster as 110,000 Palestinians escape Rafah during escalating Israel attacks

The ceasefire talks between Israel and Gaza ended without a deal, intensifying the chaos in Rafah. As Israel ramps up attacks, 110,000 Palestinians are forced to flee the region. UNRWA officials criticize Israel for imposing a 'medieval siege' on Gaza, while footage captures the mass exodus of displaced Palestinians from Rafah, fearing an Israeli offensive. The United Nations raises concerns about aid being cut off to Gaza as the humanitarian crisis escalates.

In a dramatic turn of events, the Israeli war cabinet votes to expand the operation in Rafah, adding to the growing tension in the region. As the number of Palestinians fleeing Rafah rises above 150,000, the situation becomes even more dire. Satellite imagery reveals the heartbreaking sight of Palestinians escaping tent cities in Rafah, highlighting the urgent need for assistance.

As the conflict unfolds, the UN chief Antonio Guterres warns of an 'epic disaster' looming over Gaza. With roads jammed and civilians fleeing, the humanitarian crisis worsens. The continuous fighting in Rafah not only displaces thousands but also raises alarms about a potential humanitarian catastrophe in the region, calling for immediate international intervention.
