Roughly 200 Palestinians are being forcibly displaced from Rafah every hour after Israel ordered them to leave the area, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa) said.
"The displacement is ongoing and people are leaving towards Khan Younis and the Middle Areas,” Unrwa communications director Juliette Touma said.
Touma added that “around 10,000” Palestinians have fled Rafah since Israel launched its offensive on Monday.
