The occupation’s invasion of the city of Rafah will lead to a disaster to about 1.5 million Palestinians

Occupied Al-Quds, (ST) – The United Nations envoy to the Middle East, Tor Wensland described the situation in Gaza Strip as catastrophic as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression. He is warning that the occupation’s threat to invade the city of Rafah in the south of the Strip will lead to a more dangerous situation.

Wafa News Agency quoted Wensland as saying, you can easily see the despair and fear that people face.

Wensland added that there are about 1.4 million living in very crowded conditions in Rafah with no resources, barely access to medical care, no place to sleep, and no safe place to go.

Wensland said that the United Nations needs the necessary tools to serve the Palestinians on the ground. He stressed the need to allow vital materials for United Nations operations to enter the Gaza Strip.

In turn, the European Union warned that the occupation’s threat to invade the city of Rafah would represent a disaster for about 1.5 million Palestinians who were displaced there from various regions of Gaza Strip.

European Union foreign policy official Josep Borrell said that 26 of the 27 European Union countries agreed to a statement warning “Israel” against launching any attack on Rafah. He pointed out that the statement calls for an immediate humanitarian truce that would lead to a sustainable ceasefire and the provision of humanitarian aid.
