Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that there are no plans for a ceasefire to help people from other countries leave southern Gaza and allow humanitarian assistance to enter.
According to news from the US media, there were reports that Egypt may allow people to cross the Rafah border for a few hours starting from 9:00 am local time (6:00 am GMT). However, the border is currently closed.
Many people are coming together and hoping to leave Gaza before they think Israel will attack on foot.
People from the United States who are in Gaza were previously told to go nearer to the crossing.
The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, mentioned that the crossing would be open to provide aid, but he did not give details about when it would happen.
At the moment, the Israeli military is moving 28 communities away from the Lebanese border, within a distance of 2km or 1. 24 miles.
US President Joe Biden asked Israel to be careful as their military gets ready for a ground attack in Gaza.
Over 1,400 people in Israel died in recent attacks by Hamas. At the same time, around 2,700 people in Gaza were killed in Israel’s retaliatory bombing.
