Gaza: Hundreds of thousands flee Rafah as Israel steps up attacks – video report

Israeli forces have reached the centre of Rafah in their ongoing assault on the southern Gaza city. International pressure on Israel has increased after three European countries officially recognised a Palestinian state and the UN Security Council convened an emergency meeting to discuss the situation in Gaza. Israeli forces again attacked the Tel al-Sultan area, where at least 45 people were killed in an airstrike and a massive fire in an area full of refugee tents. Gaza authorities said 21 people were killed in the latest attack, more than half of them women. About 1 million people have fled Rafah since the beginning of May and hundreds of thousands are still seeking refuge there, near the border with Egypt.
