No Room In Shelters; Thousands Flee To Gaza Border City

GAZA – Tens of thousands of Palestinians are streaming into Rafah to escape intense fighting elsewhere in the south of the Gaza Strip.

A BBC reporter in Gaza says the city has no food or electricity, and there are severe water shortages.

Thousands have tried to go to UN schools to find shelter, but have had to sleep in front of buildings as there is no room for them.

The Israeli military is now deep into Khan Younis, a city civilians in north Gaza had previously been told to flee to.
