Israel's Rafah operation disrupts medical services, aid groups say
Aid groups said on Monday their medical services in Rafah have been affected by the start of Israel's operation in the southern Gaza city, with some services suspended and medical teams blocked. Israel carried out airstrikes in Rafah on Monday and told Palestinians to evacuate parts of the city where more than a million people uprooted by the seven-month war have been crowded together, often in filthy conditions that have contributed to the spread of diarrhoea and disease. U.S.-based medical aid group Project HOPE said in a statement that it had to close its Al Shouka facility which is in the so-called evacuation zone.
