Israel Military Push In Rafah Could Lead To “Slaughter”: UN

More than 28,000 people have been killed in Gaza since war began against Hamas.

United Nations:

Israel’s planned military push into the southern Gaza city of Rafah, the last bastion of refuge for more than a million Palestinians, “could lead to a slaughter,” UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths warned Tuesday.

“The international community has been warning against the dangerous consequences of any ground invasion in Rafah. The Government of Israel cannot continue to ignore these calls,” Griffiths said in a statement. “Military operations in Rafah could lead to a slaughter in Gaza.”
