The US has warned Israel that staging a military offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah without proper planning would be a disaster, as some 1.5 million Palestinians are surviving in the city on the border with Egypt in dire humanitarian conditions.
The White House said it would not support major operations without achieving adequate conditions for refugees there.
The comments come days after the Israeli leader said the army had been told to prepare to operate in Rafah. Officials from the Hamas-run Health Ministry announced that reported Israeli airstrikes in Gaza this Friday killed at least 15 people, including eight in Rafah.
Most of the Palestinians in Rafah have been displaced by fighting from other parts of Gaza and live in tents.
Garda al-Kourd, a mother of two who said she had been displaced six times during the war, told the BBC she expected an Israeli attack but hoped there would be a ceasefire deal before it happened.
"If they come to Rafah, it will be the end for us, as if we are waiting for death. We have nowhere to go ," she said.
