Palestinians displaced by Israel's war on Gaza have crowded into Rafah in the south of the strip.
The Israeli military had previously described the city as a safe zone.
But daily air strikes are intensifying and a ground offensive is planned -- putting 1.5 million people in the line of fire.
There are also reports of a possible ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel's assault on Rafah will go ahead -- no matter what.
Is there any hope for Palestinians trapped in the city? And will anything stop Israel's ground operation?
