NNA - The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said an estimated 250,000 Palestinians will be forced to flee Khan Yunis again, despite the lack of a safe place in the Gaza Strip.

“Just weeks after people were forced to return to a devastated Khan Yunis, Israeli authorities have issued new evacuation orders for the area,” said UNRWA on X.

Adding: “Yet again, families face forced displacement. We estimate 250,000 people will have to flee. Even though nowhere is safe in Gaza.”

The Israeli occupation army warned residents to evacuate several areas east of Khan Yunis, which it said were dangerous combat zones.

Residents received a warning phone call from the Israeli occupation army, saying they would immediately start operating with “extreme force.”--WAFA
