Fresh airstrikes in Rafah have been widely condemned, as the United Nations Security Council is likely to convene an emergency meeting on the worsening situation on Tuesday evening.
The Health Ministry in Gaza and media outlets report that at least 45 civilians have been killed in fresh airstrikes carried out by Israeli forces in the Rafah city of Palestine.
The UN, the European Union, Turkey, France, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and some other countries condemned the fresh attacks on the people of Gaza.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres wrote on X: “I condemn Israel’s actions which killed scores of innocent civilians who were only seeking shelter from this deadly conflict.”
“There is no safe place in Gaza. This horror must stop,” he stressed, while denouncing the deadly Israeli raids.
The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on the IDF missile strike at a tent camp in Rafah, which killed dozens of Palestinians, on May 28.
A Security Council source told TASS: “On Tuesday evening, closed-door consultations will take place at Algeria’s request.”
Late on Sunday, the Israeli military carried out a strike on Rafah; at least eight missiles hit the tent camp in Tell al Sultan area near the UNRWA warehouse.
According to the latest reports, at least 40 people were killed, most of them women and children. The IDF press office said the General Staff apparatus initiated an investigation into the death of civilians.
