In the face of relentless rain and the looming threat of Israeli airstrikes, Palestinians in Rafah are once again forced to flee their homes in search of safety.

Families loaded with children and belongings are seen leaving behind their sodden tents and houses, opting for any means of transportation available – from donkey carts to packed cars.

“This constant cycle of displacement is unbearable.

Where are we supposed to go now?” lamented Abu Ahmed, a resident of a displaced persons camp in Rafah.

The situation escalated early Monday as Israeli authorities ordered parts of Rafah to be evacuated, signaling an imminent offensive against Hamas militants in the area.

With over a million people already displaced by the prolonged conflict, the announcement only added to the chaos and uncertainty.

“People are exhausted, both mentally and physically.

We’ve already endured so much,” said Aminah Adwan, struggling to cope with the dual challenges of bombardment and heavy rainfall.

As families hastily packed up their belongings, the sound of explosions echoed from eastern Rafah, serving as a grim reminder of the ongoing violence plaguing the region.

Amidst the chaos, calls for a ceasefire grow louder, with residents like Adwan appealing to Arab countries for intervention to save civilian lives.
