Israel PM says no humanitarian crisis as hundreds of thousands flee Rafah

Rafah, Palestinian Territories (AFP) May 15, 2024

Israel's prime minister on Wednesday insisted there was no "humanitarian catastrophe" in Rafah as he announced nearly 500,000 people had been evacuated from the south Gaza city amid intense fighting. It came as Palestinians commemorated the 76th anniversary of the "Nakba", when around 760,000 Palestinians fled or were driven from their homes during the 1948 wartime creation of Israel. Is
