There are calls for President Biden to demand Hamas evacuate civilians from the Palestinian city of Rafah to prevent a full-scale invasion by Israel, with concerns about Hamas firing on evacuees and Egypts refusal to take Palestinian refugees. Over 110,000 civilians have already fled, around 10% of the estimated population of refugees, amid global criticism of the potential evacuation of Rafah.
