I'm gonna trust the UN officials who say this is ethnic cleansing, over your infographic.

It's ~~simple arithmetic~~ cherry-picked data built to mislead.

You did not read your own link. They did not call it service cleansing (yet).

A UN human rights expert warned today that Palestinians are in grave danger of mass ethnic cleansing

I agree with the expert though. There is no need to invade Rafah, to expel Palestinians, or even eradicate Hamas (since it is impossible). To do so will justify calling it ethnic cleansing and indeed that does seem to be Likud's aim.
