At least six people have been killed in an apparent Israeli airstrike on a home in the southern Gaza city of Rafah overnight. The city is one of the areas of Gaza where Israel has told people to seek refuge, and hundreds of thousands are crammed there. But Israeli forces continue to strike all parts of the besieged territory. Heavy fighting is also underway in central Gaza and the southern city of Khan Younis. Meanwhile, the United Nations’ humanitarian chief says Gaza has become “uninhabitable” and “a public health disaster is unfolding.” The official said Friday that infectious diseases are spreading in Gaza and the few partially functioning hospitals are overwhelmed and critically short of supplies.
