Israel begins evacuating part of Rafah ahead of threatened assault

The Hindu  

Israel called on civilians to evacuate parts of Rafah on May 6 in what appeared to be preparation for a long-threatened assault on Hamas holdouts in the southern Gaza Strip city where more than a million war-displaced Palestinians have been sheltering. Instructed by Arabic text messages, telephone calls, and flyers to move to what the Israeli military called an "expanded humanitarian zone" 20 km away, some Palestinian families lumbered out under chilly spring rain, witnesses said. "During their discussion, Gallant discussed the efforts undertaken to achieve the release of hostages and indicated that at this stage, Hamas refuses the frameworks at hand," the Israeli Defence Ministry said in a statement. Three Israeli soldiers were killed on May 5 in a Hamas rocket attack near Rafah, at the Kerem Shalom crossing into Gaza, while Palestinian Health Officials said at least 19 people were killed by Israeli fire. On May 5 a top U.N. official accused Israel of continuing to deny the United Nations humanitarian access in the Gaza Strip, where the U.N. food chief warned a "full-blown famine" has taken hold in the north of the enclave of 2.3 million people.
