Palestinians continue to be killed in areas designated as safe for them, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Rafah, southern Gaza.

In Rafah, there were two attacks around midnight. One occurred in the southeastern part of Rafah City. A home was destroyed there, with reports of numerous deaths and injuries.

Heavy air strikes hit the Shaboura district of central Rafah, an area that had been described as safe for Palestinians to shelter in. More homes were destroyed, more people were displaced and more children were trapped under the rubble.

All of this adds more pressure to the evacuation centres and overall infrastructure of the south. Life is becoming increasingly impossible.
