UNRWA: More than 32 thousand people fled Rafah within two days

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced Thursday that more than 32,000 people have fled the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip during the past two days.


The organization added that the refugees were forced to leave everything behind, and their lives are at risk every day, and there is an urgent need for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.


The recent massacres took place in Rafah despite the issuance of the International Court of Justice, with the approval of 13 of its members, while two members rejected, on Friday, new temporary measures demanding that Israel immediately stop its attack on Rafah and open its crossing to facilitate the entry of aid into Gaza.


These new measures came from the court, which is the highest judicial body in the United Nations, in response to a request from South Africa as part of a comprehensive lawsuit filed at the end of December 2023, accusing Israel of committing genocide crimes in Gaza.
