Story

Heavy fighting in Rafah is still happening. Reports say an Israeli airstrike killed many Palestinians in a tent camp in the southern Gaza city. This news is shared by CBS News contributor Robert Berger. The Biden administration's reaction to Israel's actions is explained by CBS News chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes. The International Court has made a recent decision in a case brought by South Africa against Israel, accusing them of genocide in Gaza. The court has given several rulings since the case started. Two important rulings are about the risk of genocide in Gaza and military operations in Rafah. The latest ruling, delivered on 24 May, is being debated. The court ordered Israel to stop its military offensive in Rafah to prevent harm to Palestinians. Rafah is a city in southern Gaza where many Palestinians have been displaced due to attacks by Israel. The recent attack on a Rafah refugee camp resulted in the deaths of over 45 people, including children. This has led to calls for a ceasefire and the phrase "all eyes on Rafah" is being used to raise awareness about the situation. Aid cannot reach Gaza, and people needing medical treatment abroad are stuck due to closed crossings by Israel. The phrase "all eyes on Rafah" urges people to pay attention to the attacks on Palestinians, demand a ceasefire, and not ignore the situation. It has gained momentum on social media and is being supported by charities and organizations. Save the Children and Oxfam are among those calling for an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian aid access. The goal is to bring attention to the suffering of Palestinians in Rafah and push for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
