The UN Security Council is set to convene an emergency meeting on Tuesday over an Israeli strike on Sunday night that killed dozens in a camp for displaced people in Rafah. The attack on two senior Hamas members caused a fire that tore through the displacement centre, killing 45 and prompting a wave of international condemnation. Palestinians and many Arab countries called it a “massacre” while Israel said it was looking into the “tragic accident”.
