Gaza war UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron expresses concern about possible Israeli attack on Gaza’s Rafah
London/IBNS/UNI: UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron Saturday said that he is concerned over Israel's planned ground operation in the southern Gazan city of Rafah.
Israel has been pounding Rafah for several days in preparation for a ground offensive that aims to root out Hamas.
The city is the last refuge for over a million Palestinians who were told to relocate south during the past four months of the Israeli military operation in the enclave.
"Deeply concerned about the prospect of a military offensive in Rafah – over half of Gaza’s population are sheltering in the area," Cameron said on X.
