The area is densely populated with tents, the sources said.
As the Israel-Hamas war crosses the seven-month mark, negotiations are apparently stalled to secure the release of hostages taken by the terrorist organization, and Israeli forces continue to launch incursions in the southern Gazan town of Rafah ahead of a possible large-scale invasion.
More than 810,000 people have fled Rafah in the past two weeks amid Israel's ongoing military operation in the southern Gaza city, according to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
"Every time families are displaced their lives are at serious risk. People are forced to leave everything behind looking for safety. But, there's no safe zone," UNRWA said on X Monday.
Congress is considering sanctioning the International Criminal Court regarding the arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, according to House Speaker Mike Johnson.
“In the absence of leadership from the White House, Congress is reviewing all options, including sanctions, to punish the ICC and ensure its leadership faces consequences if they proceed," Johnson said in a statement. "If the ICC is allowed to threaten Israeli leaders, ours could be next."
The ICC has "no authority" over Israel or the U.S., Johnson noted.

President Joe Biden called the application for arrest warrants from the International Criminal Court against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders "outrageous."
"And let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence -- none -- between Israel and Hamas," Biden said.
"We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security," Biden's statement said.
The U.S. and Israel are not parties in the ICC.
A prosecutor with the International Criminal Court on Monday said he would file applications for arrest warrants for Hamas and Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, for "criminal responsibility" for "war crimes and crimes against humanity" in Gaza.
Prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan said he would seek warrants for Netanyahu and Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant.
Khan laid out a list of allegations against Netanyahu and Gallant, including starvation of civilians, willfully causing great suffering and other "inhumane acts."
"We submit that the crimes against humanity charged were committed as part of a widespread and systematic attack against the Palestinian civilian population pursuant to State policy," Khan said in a statement. "These crimes, in our assessment, continue to this day."
Khan also said he would seek warrants for Hamas leadership, including Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri and Ismail Haniyeh.
The prosecutor alleges those officials are also responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Khan alleges that the Hamas leaders are responsible for crimes including murder, hostage taking, torture and sexual violence, including rape.
