This area has become a refuge for 1.9 million Palestinians, many of whom reside in refugee camps.

The toll of casualties is heart-wrenching, with the majority of victims being innocent children, as reported by local sources.

Despite the presence of civilians and children, zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the invasion of Rafah.

In response to the escalating violence, Egypt has declared the situation a "red line" and initiated the deployment of military equipment, including air-defense systems. The move indicates growing regional concern over the deteriorating situation and its potential to escalate further.

The developments in Rafah underscore the urgent need for international efforts to de-escalate the conflict and protect civilian lives in the region. (ILKHA)
