Yesterday, as many eyes were fixated on the the American Superbowl, the Israeli state began its offensive in Rafah. The small city in the far south of the Gaza Strip is already the site of a humanitarian catastrophe as more than 1.3 million displaced civilians seek shelter in a supposed ‘safe zone' (although heavy bombardment of the city has been ongoing since November 2023).
