The UNFPA told Rooters that the hospital, Al Helal Al Emirati Maternity Hospital, had been handling some 85 out of a daily total of 180 births in Gaza prior to an escalation of fighting between Hamas

and Israeli troops on Rafah's outskirts.

Around half of Gaza's 2.3 million people have been crowded into Rafah after fleeing other parts of the enclave during seven months of war.

The view from Israel via the Times of Israel:
Tens of thousands flee Rafah, leaving parts of city looking like ‘ghost town’
[IsraelTimes] As battles raged on the outskirts of Rafah on Wednesday with Israeli forces closing in, Paleostinians were on the move again, abandoning neighborhoods of the southern Gazoo

Israel has threatened a major assault on Rafah to defeat four of Hamas

of a humanitarian catastrophe.

Israeli forces tasked with destroying the terror group, on Tuesday seized the main border crossing between Gaza and Egypt in Rafah, cutting off a vital route for aid into the enclave, where malnutrition is widespread.

Israel is continuing to bring in aid through several crossings, while the US has completed the construction of a pier that will allow large amounts of aid to be transferred into the Strip.

Israel’s military said it was conducting a limited operation in Rafah to kill snuffies and dismantle infrastructure used by Hamas, which runs Gaza. It told civilians to go to an "expanded humanitarian zone" near Khan Younis, north of Rafah.

Three residents of Rafah told Rooters by phone that tens of thousands of people have fled the city, which was seen as the last refuge for Paleostinians who have been displaced many times over as Israeli Arclight airstrike

s pulverized Gaza.

People in the Jneina, al-Shawka, al-Salam and other neighborhoods were ordered by the Israeli army to leave in anticipation of an assault. Some 1.4 million people have been sheltering in Rafah, raising the prospect of major casualties.

"Some streets look like a ghost town now," said Aref, 35, who asked not to be named.

"We don’t fear death and martyrdom but we have kids to care for and live for another day when this war ends and we rebuild the city," he told Rooters via a chat app.

The war erupted on October 7 when Hamas snuffies rampaged through southern communities, murdering 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking 253 hostages back to the enclave.

The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 34,000 people in the Strip have been killed in the fighting so far, a figure that cannot be independently verified and includes some 13,000 Hamas button men Israel says it has killed in battle. Israel also says it killed some 1,000 snuffies inside Israel on October 7. Almost 270 IDF soldiers have been killed in the IDF’s Gaza offensive.

WARNINGS TO LEAVE
Many Rafah residents said they received warnings over their phones, and planes dropped leaflets.
"We've been trying to reach you over your car's extended warranty. Leave now."
Juliette Touma, director of communications of the UN Paleostinian refugee agency UNRWA, estimated that around 10,000 Paleostinians had left Rafah since Monday.

The Hamas-run Gaza government media office put the number of people fleeing at tens of thousands and warned against a "massacre."

Residents said tanks, which had moved in to take control of the Rafah border crossing, had not entered built-up areas of the city and shootouts were still outside the city limits.

Suleiman Abu Kweik and his family are being displaced for the fourth time.

"Our homes have been destroyed. In Gaza [City] our house... they destroyed it. It was shelled. We went to Khan Younis. When they threatened Khan Younis, we went to Rafah," he said.

Hamas said its operatives were battling Israeli forces in the east of Rafah. Lines of smoke from airstrikes and tank shelling rose from places east of the city, residents said.
