"Israeli Forces Prepare Ground Entry in Rafah as Crisis Escalates"

Panic rises in Rafah as Israel's Prime Minister orders troops to prepare for a ground entry, rejecting Hamas's truce plan and rebuffing US efforts to reach a deal. UN chief warns that a ground invasion would worsen the humanitarian crisis with regional consequences. Talks for a truce are set to resume in Egypt, with the US Secretary of State meeting with Israeli officials. Israeli airstrikes on Rafah have killed 14 people, including five children, prompting fears and uncertainty among the 1.2 million people sheltering in the city.
