Thousands of Palestinians were seen leaving the Tal al-Sultan neighbourhood using cars, trucks and carts drawn by donkeys and horses, heading north.
A local journalist at the Kuwaiti Hospital in Tal Al-Sultan, amidst the relentless bombings, reported that numerous families sought refuge in the medical centre's courtyard, while ambulances struggled to reach the affected areas due to the severity of the situation.
Several Israeli tanks have reached the centre of Rafah, witnesses have said, three weeks into a ground operation in the southern Gaza city that has drawn intense scrutiny from neighbouring Egypt and from the United States.
The tanks were spotted near Al-Awda mosque, a central Rafah landmark, the witnesses said.
