Palestinians flee Khan Younis as Israeli forces strike south Gaza

The situation in Gaza is escalating as Israeli forces continue to strike southern Gaza, causing civilians to flee their homes in fear for their safety. Palestinians in the district to the east of Khan Younis have been issued evacuation orders, leading to a mass exodus of people seeking refuge from the violence.

Reports of multiple Israeli strikes in and around Khan Younis have resulted in the deaths of eight people and injuries to more than 30 others. As a result, patients and medical staff at the European Gaza hospital have been instructed by the Hamas-run health ministry to evacuate, despite no official order from the Israeli military. With the help of the Red Cross, patients are being transferred to other hospitals for treatment.

The United Nations estimates that 250,000 individuals in southern Gaza have been affected by the evacuation order, highlighting the widespread impact of the ongoing conflict. As tensions rise and violence continues to escalate, it is crucial for all parties involved to prioritize the safety and well-being of innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
