Hey folks, here’s a quick update on a major development in Gaza. Israeli forces have completed the encirclement of Rafah as part of ongoing military operations that resumed on March 18. This move has led to urgent evacuation warnings for hundreds of thousands of residents, pushing many into an ever-shrinking safe zone. 😟
Rafah, covering about 60 square kilometers along the southern border with Egypt, is now the center of rapid and large-scale movements. In parallel, Israeli troops have moved to seize the area known as the Morag Axis—a term referring to a part of the region once tied to a former settlement between Rafah and Khan Younis.
With so many on the move and a space that’s quickly diminishing, the unfolding events in Gaza are a reminder of how fast situations can shift. Stay tuned for more updates, and let’s keep informed about what these changes mean on the ground. 💙
