00:00 The UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees said on Tuesday that nearly 450,000 people have

00:05 been displaced from Rafa since Israel began issuing evacuation orders from the southern

00:10 Gaza city eight days ago.

00:12 In this regard, UNRWA said in a statement that Gazans face "constant fatigue, hunger

00:16 and fear" while the streets of the city of Rafa remain empty with no safe places.

00:21 In the meantime, Israel continues targeting urban areas despite United States warnings

00:25 against a full-scale assault on the southern Gaza city, which is packed with displaced

00:30 Palestinians.

00:31 On the other hand, UNRWA also states that the Israeli operations in Rafa have closed

00:34 an important aid passage, worsening an already desperate situation.
