The World Health Organization (WHO) on Wednesday warned that an Israeli military offensive in Rafah, Gaza would cause an "unfathomable catastrophe" and push the enclave's health system closer to the brink of collapse.

"Military in this densely populated area would be, of course, an unfathomable catastrophe... and would even further expand the humanitarian disaster beyond imagination," said Richard Peeperkorn, a WHO representative for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, on Wednesday.

More than one million Palestinians crammed into Rafah at the southern tip of the Gaza Strip, on the border with Egypt, where many are living in tent camps and makeshift shelters after fleeing Israeli bombardments elsewhere in Gaza.

The Israeli military says it wants to flush out Islamist militants from hideouts in Rafah and free hostages being held there after the Hamas rampage in Israel on Oct. 7, but has given no details of a proposed plan to evacuate civilians.
