Israel continues its assault on Rafah despite a UN Security Council draft resolution calling for a ceasefire. Israeli airstrikes targeted various parts of Rafah, causing residents to remain indoors under threat of drone attacks. The assault has led to widespread destruction, including the shutdown of telecommunications and internet services. Nearly a million people have fled Rafah, which had previously been designated a safe zone. The humanitarian crisis worsens as field hospitals are rendered non-functional. Despite international outcry and a draft resolution by Algeria, urging an immediate ceasefire, the US has previously vetoed similar resolutions. US officials have called for restraint but maintain Israel hasn't crossed its red lines.
