Bowen: Gazans fled to Rafah for safety but now Israel wants to attack


More than a million displaced Palestinians have found shelter in the south of the Gaza strip after fleeing the fighting in the north.

A ground invasion in the refugee-packed area could prove disastrous and the US has warned Israel not to attack without a “credible” plan to protect civilians.

International journalists are not allowed in Gaza. Our International editor Jeremy Bowen reports from the wall separating Bethlehem in the West Bank from Israeli-controlled Jerusalem.
