Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is ready to “stand alone” against its enemies after President Biden warned that the U.S. could cut military aid.
Rafah’s threadbare health network is collapsing when people there need it most. The city’s largest hospital was shuttered two days ago, in a panic, after Israel ordered 100,000 Palestinians in southeastern Gaza to evacuate. Small clinics that accommodated hundreds of people a week closed as well, with staff members forced to flee the violence.
Israel’s military operations in Rafah this week have overwhelmed health-care workers, who were already struggling to treat displaced Palestinians suffering from malnourishment, explosive injuries and an array of diseases, which doctors say are spreading rapidly through the city’s filthy and overcrowded tent camps. Children were most at risk, as they have been throughout seven months of war.
