Gazan health officials say that more than 27,000 people many of them women and children have been killed in Israel's bombardment and ground assault of Gaza since the Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7.
The U.S. secretary of state, Antony J. Blinken, who is on his fifth trip to the Middle East since Oct. 7, said on Wednesday that it was especially important to protect civilians in Rafah. Israel has the responsibility, has the obligation, to do everything possible to ensure that civilians are protected and that they get the assistance they need.
