Germany calls on Israel not to invade Rafah city in Gaza

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock joined growing calls against Israel's planned assault on Rafah city in Gaza. 

"The need in Rafah is already unbelievable - 1.3 million people are seeking protection from the fighting in a very small space," Baerbock said on X (formerly Twitter). 

"An offensive by the Israeli army on Rafah would be humanitarian catastrophe. The people of Gaza cannot disappear into thin air."
