Israel's military action has come under growing scrutiny, with its forces killing 34,000 Palestinians in Gaza

Aid agencies claimed that the situation has worsened this week after Israeli forces closed the Rafah border crossing with Egypt

Blinken informed Shoukry that the United States does not support a major military operation in Rafah and opposed any forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza

Israel has long been opposed to the idea of a permanent ceasefire, claiming that it must finish the job of eliminating Hamas

The war in Gaza escalated with Hamas' October 7 attack, in which around 2,500 militants crossed the border into Israel from the Gaza Strip, resulting in casualties and the seizure of hostages

At least 34,800 Palestinians, including 142 journalists have been killed and 78,100 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7 last.

Israel has disregarded international protests by sending in tanks and carrying out targeted raids in the border city

The United States, along with Egypt and Cairo, has been deeply involved in talks underway in Cairo to negotiate a ceasefire in the seven-month war

Israel has killed at least 20 civilians in its attacks on Rafah since Tuesday morning

Following the terrorist group's deadly attack on Israel on October 7, more than a million residents sought refuge in Rafah after fleeing other areas of Gaza.
