Palestinians face forced displacement again

The Israeli military issued new evacuation orders on Monday for areas in southern Gaza, including eastern Khan Younis. Displaced Palestinians face forced displacement again.

News Center- Since October 7, 2023, Israel has carried out attacks on the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military issued new evacuation orders on Monday for areas in southern Gaza, including eastern Khan Younis.

“For your safety, you must evacuate immediately to the humanitarian zone,” Avichay Adraee, the Israel Defense Forces’ Arabic-language spokesperson, posted on social platform X.

Palestinians flee to Mevasi region

After the evacuation order, Palestinians living in eastern Khan Younis began to flee to the Mevasi region, a region that Israel once declared safe.

Patients transferred

The Gaza European Hospital in Khan Younis, a hospital within the evacuation zone, has transferred patients, including those in intensive care and babies in incubators to the Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza.

“Just weeks after people were forced to return to a devastated Khan Younis, Israeli authorities have issued new evacuation orders for the area,” the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) said in a post on Tuesday. “Yet again, families face forced displacement. We estimate 250,000 people will have to flee. Even though nowhere is safe in Gaza.”

The Israeli military claimed rockets were launched from the Khan Younis toward Israel on Monday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement on Monday that the country’s military is advancing to the end of the stage of eliminating Hamas’ army in Gaza and will “continue striking its remnants.”

At least 37,900 Palestinians have been killed and 87,060 others injured in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, the Gaza’s health ministry said in a statement on Monday.
