GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Rafah Mayor Ahmed al-Sufi said on Monday, the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip “has become a disaster area and unlivable city” due to the ongoing Israeli aggression.
Al-Sufi explained in a statement that “Israeli occupation forces (IOF) that penetrated into the city of Rafah last May have carried out demolition, bulldozing and bombing operations of residential buildings, service facilities and infrastructure networks in all neighborhoods of the city.”
With US and EU support, the IOF has been waging a brutal genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, leaving about 152,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amidst massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and elderly people, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
