Gaza, MINA – Egypt’s foreign minister criticized the international community on Tuesday over its inability to prevent the Israeli army’s incursion into the southern Gaza city of Rafah, which is home to more than 1.5 million displaced Palestinians who have taken refuge from the war launched by Israel.

“The international community has failed to prevent Israel from invading Rafah,” Sameh Shoukry was quoted by Egyptian media as saying, Anadolu Agency reports.

On Monday, Israeli forces issued evacuation orders for Palestinians in eastern Rafah, in a move widely seen as a prelude to Israel’s long-feared attack on the city.

Earlier on Tuesday, Israeli forces seized control of the Rafah border crossing linking Gaza with Egypt, closing it to all traffic.
