"They're here helpless, waiting for anything positive"
Hind Khoudary is on the ground in Rafah where an estimated 1.5 million people have been sheltering as Israel vows to continue its offensive.
Khoudary said that hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Rafah are "so thirsty for any positive news related to a ceasefire.
Israeli tanks entered Rafah and seized the only crossing through which aid can enter and Gazans can leave. The Israeli army said it had allowed some aid through since.
Hamas leaders said two days ago that they had agreed to a ceasefire but Israel said the terms were unacceptable and its war cabinet voted unanimously to continue the offensive.
The military action in Rafah comes after months of warnings from world leaders and the United Nations not to proceed.

·5d ago News flash: gender-affirming care for minors is NOT what many anti-trans folks think it is. It does NOT necessarily mean surgery for little kids. Instead, it's something a bit more simple, yet life-saving. TNM spoke with a parent of a six-year old trans child and an LGBTQ+ advocate in Alabama about what gender-affirming care can look like for young ones. News flash: no surgeries, operations, or hormones are involved. "They're not doing anything besides asking to go by another name," says Amanda Keller, an advocate at an LGBTQ+ community center in Birmingham, Alabama. Co-Producers: @arigato.aki and Dallin Mello
