Ravina Shamdasani, Spokesperson for the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, said that some of the Palestinians whom Israel had told to move from the north to the south of the Gaza Strip started to return due to the attacks in the south. The Israeli army is expected to start a ground operation, and a safe zone for civilians has not been created yet.
The Rafah border in Egypt, which is the only gateway to the Israeli-blockaded Gaza Strip, is expected to open today to deliver humanitarian aid.
