'Absolute bedlam' in Rafah as over one million Gazans seek aid

UNICEF Spokesperson Tess Ingram says there is “absolute bedlam” in Rafah where over one million people have evacuated down the southern Gaza Strip since Israel began its invasion to annihilate Hamas following the October 7 terrorist attacks. “About 1.5 million people are estimated to be living here in this most southern part of Gaza Strip after being forced to evacuate from the north and middle areas of Gaza where the bombardments have been the most intense,” Ms Ingram told Sky News Australia. “The streets here in Rafah are incredibly, incredibly overcrowded. “So many people living in makeshift shelters built from plastic tarpaulins and blankets of ropes. “These shelters are very wet and muddy and people are incredibly cold hungry and exhausted.”
