The Israeli military has launched deadly strikes in Gaza, killing at least 14 people in the northern part of the enclave. Additionally, new evacuation orders were issued in Khan Younis, with residents being told to leave for their safety. The use of terms like “humanitarian zones” and evacuation orders have been criticized for not providing actual safety or shelter for those fleeing the violence.
Palestinian and United Nations officials have stated that there are no safe areas in Gaza, with most of the population being internally displaced multiple times. Palestinian groups have accused Israel of trying to create a buffer zone by driving people from the northern edge of Gaza through forced evacuations and bombings. The Israeli army denies this, claiming they are targeting Hamas fighters.
The Palestinian Civil Defence has reported that their operations have been halted in several areas in Gaza due to Israeli attacks on their teams and fuel shortages. They have also reported casualties among their members and vehicles being out of operation due to fuel shortages.
Despite the ongoing violence, there are concerns about the lack of safe areas for civilians in Gaza. The situation remains tense as the conflict continues to escalate, with both Israeli and Palestinian forces engaging in deadly exchanges.
