Foreign Minister Hanke Bruins Slot says the situation in the southern Gaza city is “very worrying” amid a looming Israeli military operation on the area.
“Many civilians in Gaza have fled south,” she posted on X.
“Hard to see how large-scale military operations in such a densely populated area would not lead to many civilian casualties and a bigger humanitarian catastrophe. This is unjustifiable.”
Rafah is densely populated, as more than 1 million displaced Palestinians are estimated to be sheltering close to the border with Egypt.
