In his account on the social network X, the foreign minister warned that the Israeli attacks on Rafah could trigger an unprecedented humanitarian disaster in the Middle East.

We call for a ceasefire and to allow the unimpeded entry of humanitarian aid, Rodriguez stressed on the platform.

Yesterday, President Miguel Diaz-Canel, denounced the Israeli attacks on the social network and pointed out that ‘when we thought we had seen and suffered everything, the genocidal State of Israel viciously attacks the place where more than a million Palestinians had found refuge’.

Official reports indicate that more than 100 Palestinians were killed on Monday during bombardments against the city of Rafah, located in the south of the Gaza Strip, during an Israeli operation to free two prisoners.

The Israeli army continued this day its bombardment against Gaza, especially around the southern city of Khan Yunis, epicenter of a ground offensive that threatens to extend to Rafah, on the border with Egypt.

Official figures show that more than 28,170 Palestinians have been killed and almost 68,000 injured in the coastal enclave since the beginning of the new cycle of violence on October 7.
