Palestinian patients evacuated from Nasser Hospital have been arriving in Rafah
Five patients die at Nasser hospital after Israeli raid cuts off power 
GAZA — Five patients have died at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis after an Israeli raid caused the facility to lose power, the Ministry of Health in Hamas-controlled Gaza said, as the World Health of Organization (WHO) decried the “deeply alarming” situation.The ministry said the Nasser Medical Complex was “without electricity, water, food, and heating” in a statement on Friday morning, after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched the raid Thursday and detained a number of people.The Gaza ministry also announced in a separate Friday morning update that two pregnant women had delivered children in the hospital “under extremely challenging and inhumane conditions.”It later accused Israeli forces of forcing “male patients who are able to move and their companions to evacuate...

This satellite image from Maxar Technologies shows Egypt building a miles-wide buffer zone and border wall along its border with Gaza
Egypt is building a new walled buffer zone along Gaza border
RAFAH — Egypt is building a massive miles-wide buffer zone and wall along its border with southern Gaza, new satellite images show, as fears grow over Israel’s planned ground offensive in Rafah where more than half of Gaza’s population is sheltering.The images, taken in the past five days by Maxar Technologies, show a significant section of Egyptian territory between a roadway and the Gaza border has been bulldozed.If the buffer zone — which stretches from the end of the Gaza border to the Mediterranean Sea — is completed, it will completely engulf the Egyptian-Rafah border crossing complex.At the actual border, multiple cranes can be seen laying sections of wall.Additional satellite imagery reviewed by CNN shows that bulldozers arrived on site on February 3, and the initial...

Boats in Tunisia
Nine people die off the coast of Tunisia while trying to reach Europe
TUNIS — Tunisia's coast guard retrieved the bodies of nine people who died after their boat sank on Thursday, marking the latest disaster for migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea to Europe.The coast guard also retrieved 45 people from the boat after it started to fill with water around six kilometers off the coast of Zarzis, a common departure point near Tunisia's border with Libya.Coast guard spokesman Houssameddine Jbabli said the boat, which was carrying non-Tunisian passengers, likely embarked from Libya. He added that survivors were transported to a local hospital in Tunisia.Several weeks earlier, a large boat with an estimated 54 Tunisians, likely attempting to migrate to Europe went missing at sea, sparking protests from relatives from the city of El Hancha.

Netanyahu vows to press ahead with Rafah invasion
GAZA — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted his troops will advance on the Gazan city of Rafah, defying outside pleas to reconsider.French President Emmanuel Macron was among those warning Netanyahu off, telling him the human cost of Israel's operation in Gaza was "intolerable".But Netanyahu has ordered his army to prepare for a ground assault.Some 1.4 million Palestinians are sheltering in Rafah, which has already come under bombardment.Netanyahu vowed to press on with a "powerful" assault, declaring that Hamas, the group that controls Gaza, must be eliminated from the southern city."We will fight until complete victory and this includes a powerful action also in Rafah after we allow the civilian population to leave the battle zones,"...

Palestinian surgeon says Israeli snipers killed civilians trying to flee besieged Gaza hospital 
GAZA — Doctors and medical officials in southern Gaza say Israeli snipers have shot dead a number of people as they tried to leave the Nasser Medical Complex in recent days.The hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis is the largest remaining functioning medical facility in Gaza but for weeks it has been at the center of an ongoing Israeli military assault in the area.A trauma surgeon at the hospital told CNN he saw at least two people killed by snipers on Tuesday, with more shot and injured.The Israeli military has ordered hospital staff, patients and hundreds of displaced people sheltering inside the medical complex to evacuate and said it had “opened a secure route” for civilians to leave.But at least eight people trying to escape along the route came under gunfire on Tuesday,...

Rafah's population has swelled from 250,000 to 1.5 million as Palestinians have fled to the territory's southernmost city
UN warns attack on Rafah could lead to 'slaughter'
GAZA — A top UN official has warned an Israeli assault on Rafah, Gaza's southernmost city, could lead to a "slaughter".Humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths said Palestinians in Gaza were already suffering an "assault that is unparalleled in its intensity, brutality and scope".The consequences of an invasion of Rafah would be "catastrophic", he said.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to defeat Hamas gunmen he says are hiding in the city.In an unusually strongly worded statement, Griffiths said over a million people were "crammed in Rafah, staring death in the face". He said civilians in the city had little food or access to medicine and "nowhere safe to go".An Israeli invasion of the city, he added, would "leave an...

Palestinian women describe terror of 12-mile escape on foot from Gaza City
GAZA — After being trapped in a building for more than a week in a neighborhood of Gaza City besieged by Israeli troops, a group of Palestinian women told CNN they were forced to flee south with their children, leaving other family members behind and some walking barefoot for more than 12 miles along a stretch of coastline to escape.One woman said she had no choice but to abandon her elderly stepmother on the beach, and feared she’d since been attacked by dogs that were roaming the area.CNN spoke with the four women at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah, central Gaza, where they arrived on February 3 with their 16 children – age 9 months to 12 years – after walking for about eight hours in the cold rain from Gaza City. The group of relatives and neighbors, who are from Abu...

Biden growing more frustrated with Netanyahu as Gaza campaign rages on
WASHINGTON — US President Joe Biden has grown increasingly frustrated behind the scenes with his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu, telling advisers and others that the prime minister is ignoring his advice and obstructing efforts to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, according to people familiar with the matter.So far, Biden has stopped short of directly criticizing Netanyahu in public. But he has become increasingly critical of Israel’s tactics, saying last week he believes the campaign in Gaza is “over the top,” one of his sharpest condemnations to date of the military effort against Hamas.In private, Biden has been more willing to offer unvarnished thoughts on Netanyahu, including his deep irritation that the Israeli prime minister has not followed through on...

Israeli airstrikes kill more than 100 in Rafah as international alarm mounts over anticipated ground offensive
GAZA — Dozens of people, including children, have been killed as “extremely intense” Israeli airstrikes and shelling pounded multiple locations in Rafah overnight Monday, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society, as international alarm mounts over Israel’s planned ground offensive in the southern Gazan city.More than 100 people were killed due to Israeli airstrikes as warplanes targeted different areas of the city and helicopters fired machine guns along the border areas, the PRCS said early Monday.CNN cannot independently verify the number of casualties on the ground.There are fears the death toll could rise further as the PRCS said people remain trapped under the rubble and there is still a heavy presence of warplanes in the skies over Rafah.The director of Abu Yousef...

UN Special Rapporteur says October 7 attacks were 'in response to Israel's oppression'
GENEVA — Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, rejected French President Emmanuel Macron’s remarks that the October 7 Hamas attack was the “largest anti-Semitic massacre of the 21st century.”“The ‘largest anti-Semitic massacre of our century'? No, Mr. Macron. The victims of October 7 were not killed because of their Judaism, but in response to Israel's oppression. France and the international community did nothing to prevent it. My respects to the victims,” Albanese said in a social media post.Albanese was responding to comments made by Macron as he paid tribute to the October 7 victims at a ceremony in Paris on February 7. During the ceremony, Macron said “the unspeakable resurfaced from the depths of history” that...
