LBC's Natasha Devon speaks to Omar Shakir from the Human Rights Watch about what the consequences of a Rafah invasion will be people for the people of Gaza.

It comes after Israel ordered more residents to leave Rafah as it prepares to ramp up military action in the region.

The IDF said it is expanding its operation and moving into an area in northern Gaza where Hamas has regrouped.

There have been heavy clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinian militants on the outskirts of Rafah, leaving crucial nearby aid crossings inaccessible and forcing more than 110,000 people to flee north.

IDF spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, told people to leave for the “expanded humanitarian area” in Al-Mawasi “immediately” on Saturday.
