Israel has widened its ground invasion in southern Gaza, issuing new evacuation orders in Khan Younis, displacing thousands of Palestinians. The Israeli military claims staying in the area is dangerous due to rockets being fired by Palestinian fighters and has warned of operating forcibly in the area. The recent order follows a previous evacuation order in eastern Khan Younis and a new ground invasion. The invasion has displaced 180,000 Palestinians, with many forced to move without their belongings.
Despite international warnings that nowhere is safe in Gaza, the Israeli military continues its attacks on areas like Rafah and Zeitoun in Gaza City. UN agencies have condemned Israel’s mass displacement of civilians and attacks on humanitarian “safe zones”. Medical sources report 14 bodies arriving at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, with casualties continuing to increase.
The Israeli military has killed over 39,000 Palestinians in Gaza since the conflict began in October, with over 90,000 wounded and thousands missing. The ongoing violence has raised concerns about the safety and well-being of the civilian population in Gaza, amid increasing international condemnation of Israel’s actions. The situation remains dire as the conflict shows no signs of abating, with Palestinian civilians bearing the brunt of the violence.
