People Leaving Rafah Head Toward Deir el-Balah and Nuseirat Refugee Camp: UN

People are leaving Rafah because of air strikes, a threatened Israeli ground invasion but also because they are struggling to survive in the overcrowded city in southern Gaza, according to the latest update from the UN humanitarian agency (OCHA).

People leaving Rafah are moving towards places including Deir el-Balah and the Nuseirat refugee camp, OCHA added.

Earlier, Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum, who is in Rafah, said that air strikes in the Nuseirat refugee camp and Deir el-Balah showed that people are still in danger after leaving Rafah.

“We need to clearly understand that these are areas where Palestinians have recently been fleeing to as they are trying to get away from a potential military incursion in Rafah, where Israeli jets continue to pound the city,” Abu Azzoum said.
