Fighting and heavy bombardment in the south of Gaza strip, where Israel had previously urged civilians to seek safety, have left people with few places to go, AFP reports.

Umm Mohammed al-Jabri lost seven children in an air strike on Rafah after fleeing there from Gaza City further north.

“I have four children left,” said Jabri, 56.

“Last night they bombed the house we were in and destroyed it. They said Rafah would be a safe place. There is no safe place.”
