"Israeli Ground Invasion of Rafah Raises War Crimes Concerns"
TL;DR
The UN aid coordination office has expressed concerns that any Israeli ground invasion of the overcrowded city of Rafah in Gaza could lead to war crimes under international humanitarian law. The city's population has increased five-fold due to an exodus of people fleeing intense fighting in Khan Younis. The situation in Gaza is described as "beyond catastrophic" with desperate shortages of medicine, food, and water, and the looming possibility of hospitals closing due to the ongoing conflict.
