UN chief Antonio Guterres is “appalled” by Israel’s escalating military activity in and around Rafah, a spokesperson said, as clashes have rocked the densely crowded southern Gaza city.

“These developments are further impeding humanitarian access and worsening an already dire situation,” Farhan Haq said according to AFP, while also criticising Hamas for “firing rockets indiscriminately. “
