Mr. Netanyahu has said that Israel will not stop fighting until Hamas is eliminated and all the hostages are freed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Israel\u2019s incursion into Rafah this week has displaced about 80,000 people there, most of whom are now sheltering in the southern city of Khan Younis or along the Mediterranean coast in Deir al Balah, both areas that lack basic services, Farhan Haq, a United Nations spokesman, said on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Israeli military had told about 110,000 civilians to evacuate parts of Rafah, which has become a refuge for hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians, many of them living in tents without adequate food, water and sanitation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Riyad al-Masry, a sign language interpreter, said on Thursday that he and his extended family had left Rafah even though he had already moved five times since the war began. The prospect of a sixth move was \u201ctorture beyond torture,\u201d he said \u2014 but he said nearby fighting gave him little choice. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe are almost in the middle of danger,\u201d Mr. al-Masry said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Haq said that goods and fuel had not entered through the Rafah crossing in recent days and that hospitals may have to shut down their generators in a few days. He said the World Food Program had reported that its main warehouse in Gaza was inaccessible because of fighting and that only one bakery in Gaza was still operating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Jens Laerke, a spokesman for the U.N. humanitarian office in Geneva, described Rafah as a \u201chighly active war zone,\u201d and said it presented \u201cserious challenges\u201d for aid distribution in southern Gaza and farther north in the territory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe reiterate that the parties\u2019 obligation to facilitate aid does not end at the border or in a drop-off zone,\u201d he said. \u201cAid must safely reach those who need it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Reporting was contributed by <!-- -->Matthew Mpoke Bigg<!-- -->, <!-- -->Iyad Abuheweila<!-- -->, <!-- -->Myra Noveck<!-- -->, <!-- -->Aaron Boxerman<!-- -->, <!-- -->Vivian Yee<!-- -->, <!-- -->Erica L.
