Tragedy on Libya’s Coast as Migrant Bodies Wash Ashore

  FILE PHOTO: Migrants aboard an overcrowded boat are approached by the crew of the migrant search and rescue ship Sea-Watch 5, operated by the German NGO Sea-Watch, during a rescue operation in the Search and Rescue (SAR) zone in the central Mediterranean, off Libya. At least five migrants, including two women, were found washed ashore in the coastal town of Qasr al-Akhyar, east of Libya’s capital, Tripoli.

Israeli Tanks Advance in Rafah, Forcing Residents to Flee Again

 

In a distressing escalation of violence, Israeli tanks, backed by warplanes and drones, have penetrated deeper into the western part of the Gaza Strip city of Rafah. According to residents and Palestinian medics, eight people lost their lives in this latest incursion. The tanks moved into five neighborhoods after midnight, leaving a trail of destruction and panic among the population.

The Al-Mawasi area, further west of the coastal enclave, bore the brunt of heavy shelling and gunfire. Displaced Palestinians, who had already fled their homes due to previous Israeli strikes, sought refuge in tent camps. However, even these temporary shelters were not spared as bullets and shells rained down on them.

Despite international efforts to mediate a ceasefire, the conflict persists. Israel’s stated goal of wiping out Hamas and freeing Israeli hostages remains unmet, while Gaza continues to suffer. The Rafah crossing, the primary link for most of Gaza’s population with the outside world, lies in ruins, its buildings burnt, and Israeli tanks now positioned there.

As the situation remains dire, the world watches, hoping for an end to the violence and a path toward peace. But for now, the people of Rafah face another night of horror, caught in the crossfire of a seemingly unending conflict.
