Latest Israel-Hamas war news and Gaza updates: Ceasefire talks continue amid concerns over Rafah invasion

The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which helps Palestinian refugees, estimates that around 50,000 people have fled their homes or shelters in the Rafah area since Israel ordered the evacuation of several neighborhoods ahead of a military operation on Monday. Israeli troops took control of the Rafah border crossing on Tuesday, cutting off the flow of aid to the Gaza Strip.
