A military besiegement and ground incursion in #Rafah would pose catastrophic risks to the 600,000 children currently taking shelter in the enclave.

A full military incursion into Rafah will plunge the crisis into unprecedented levels of humanitarian need. A ceasefire is urgently needed for the sake of humanity. #Gaza

We hoped this day would never come. For weeks we have been warning there is no feasible evacuation plan to lawfully displace & protect civilians. The incursion will risk the lives of >600,000 children & the collapse of the humanitarian aid response. savethechildren.net/news/save-chil…
