Its ahead of a planned Ground Offensive in the Southern City of rafah, where about 1. 5 Million People are sheltering. It is being reported this morning, not a huge amount of detail what those humanitarian islands would look like. It is right at the very southern end of the gaza strip, where more than half of the population is now sheltering and is a place where israel has said it needs to carry out a military Ground Offensive because it says in order to achieve its aim of fully removing hamas run gaza, the only way to do thatis hamas run gaza, the only way to do that is target hamas s remaining leadership when they are believed to be in and among civilians sheltering in rafa.
