Israeli forces are reportedly fully prepared to initiate an assault on Rafah, the southernmost city in Gaza, pending government approval.
Rafah, which abuts the Egyptian border, is sheltering more than a million Palestinians who fled the half-year-old Israeli offensive through the rest of Gaza and say the prospect of fleeing yet again is terrifying.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is set to visit Egypt's border with Gaza on Saturday, following Israel's announcement that it would send troops to fight Hamas in Rafah, even without US support. Despite warnings that such an invasion would cause mass civilian casualties and worsen the humanitarian crisis, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he must press ahead with the attack.
