A full-scale Israeli assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah “cannot take place”, the UN human rights chief insisted on Sunday, saying it could not be reconciled with international law. “The latest evacuation orders affect close to a million people in Rafah. So where should they go now? There is no safe place in Gaza!” Volker Turk, the UN high commissioner for human rights, said in a statement. He said a full-scale offensive could have a “catastrophic impact… including the possibility of further atrocity crimes.”
