00:00 Here in Rafah, in southern Gaza, these displaced Palestinians set up a camp with their few

00:06 remaining resources.

00:08 Many have fled north after Israeli tanks and troops entered the city's east.

00:13 After being displaced multiple times, these Gazans say they are running out of hope.

00:18 "We're not able to be patient and resilient anymore.

00:23 We have no money and we don't have the means to move from one place to another again and

00:28 again.

00:29 We have no means at all."

00:31 "I don't want to wait for the situation to become too dangerous and be forced into homelessness

00:39 or to lose a family member.

00:41 I've lost enough loved ones.

00:43 I've lost enough loved ones.

00:44 I'm not willing to lose anyone else I love.

00:46 We've lost too much."

00:50 Casualties poured into this hospital in Rafah on Wednesday as bombs continue to strike the

00:55 city where over a million Palestinians are sheltering.

00:58 In the south, the shutters have come down on the Rafah crossing as Israeli forces seize

01:03 the Gaza side of the border with Egypt, cutting off a crucial route for aid and fuel.

01:09 On social media, the head of the WHO is warning that hospitals in the south of the enclave

01:14 only have three days of fuel left.

01:17 The Israeli government says that Hamas has battalions in Rafah and that a ground invasion

01:22 is needed to dismantle them.

01:24 The UN says that such a move will lead to a humanitarian catastrophe.
