@thenewsmovement: "They're here helpless, waiting for anything positive" Hind Khoudary is on the ground in Rafah where an estimated 1.5 million people have been sheltering as Israel vows to continue its offensive. Khoudary said that hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Rafah are "so thirsty for any positive news related to a ceasefire. Israeli tanks entered Rafah and seized the only crossing through which aid can enter and Gazans can leave. The Israeli army said it had allowed some aid through since. Hamas leaders said two days ago that they had agreed to a ceasefire but Israel said the terms were unacceptable and its war cabinet voted unanimously to continue the offensive. The military action in Rafah comes after months of warnings from world leaders and the United Nations not to proceed.
