More than 600,000 Palestinians have left Rafah since the beginning of the offensive
At least 630,000 Palestinians have fled the southern Gaza city of Rafah in the past 12 days amid an Israeli military offensive, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on Thursday.

"The people of Gaza continue to be forcibly displaced. Since the start of the military offensive on Rafah on 6 May, a city on the border of the Gaza Strip and Egypt, more than 630,000 people have been forced to flee the area," UNRWA said on the social network X, adding that "many have sought refuge in Deir al-Balah, now unbearably overcrowded and unsanitary."
Israel has intensified its attacks on Rafah in recent days, in what Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant described as a "pinpoint operation" against "battalions" of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).
The city was home to 1.4 million people before the latest escalation, most of them displaced from other parts of the Palestinian enclave.
The offensive on Rafah has also involved taking control of the Palestinian side of the border crossing with Egypt, disrupting aid operations and deepening the humanitarian crisis in the enclave, which has been under an almost total blockade for several months.
The Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip has caused more than 35,000 deaths and nearly 80,000 injuries in seven months, according to figures from the enclave's health ministry, controlled by Hamas since 2007.
The current conflict was triggered by an unprecedented Hamas attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, which caused about 1,200 deaths and two hundred hostages, according to Israeli authorities.
