In a statement on Wednesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that forcibly displacing civilians from the city of Rafah, which has become a final refuge for hundreds of thousands of displaced people in the Gaza Strip, constitutes a serious violation of international laws and would double the worsening humanitarian crisis in the besieged Strip.
