Rafah evacuation
NPR: Israel's new evacuation orders in Rafah could exacerbate the humanitarian crisis -- over 75% of Gaza is already under evacuation, and half of Rafah's population is children.
The UN Human rights office demands a halt to the Rafah assault -- there's a genuine risk of war crimes by Israel.
NYT thinks the whole thing will backfire -- it'll cause a diplomatic rift with Egypt, likely won't eradicate Hamas, and will tank any hostage deals.
The Guardian agrees. The Rafah assault worsens Gaza's plight and highlights global inaction -- we need a ceasefire, not more war.
But NY Post insists it's the right move. Israel is trying to separate the civilians from Hamas -- they should evacuate ASAP.
Fox News agrees. Israel's Rafah operation is a must to defeat Hamas after failed cease-fire attempts.

But The Atlantic disagrees. New research highlights the sun's health benefits -- daily sunscreen can limit those benefits.
Outside Online agrees. Many people overuse sunscreen and risk Vitamin D deficiencies.
But the NIH says no way, use sunscreen for protection against UVR-related health risks and aging.
CNN recommends going for balance -- but in general, most people don't apply enough.
