Egyptian sources reported today (Saturday) the start of establishing a second camp for displaced Palestinians in the city of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, as part of Egypt’s efforts to alleviate the suffering of the residents of the Strip.

The Egyptian Cairo News satellite channel quoted sources as saying, “Egypt has begun establishing camp for the displaced No. 2 in Khan Yunis, with a capacity of 400 tents, accommodating about 4,000 people, and equipped with electricity and toilets.”

The sources explained that the camp will be completed by the end of this week, as part of Egypt's efforts to alleviate the burden on the Palestinians.

It pointed out that "establishing the camp will be followed by (establishing) a field hospital in the (Palestinian) city of Rafah and another camp north of Deir al-Balah, in addition to allocating two aid distribution centers in Rafah."

Egypt had previously established a camp in Khan Yunis that included 1,050 tents and full food for the Palestinians.

Since October 7, Israel has been waging a large-scale war against the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the Gaza Strip, during which more than 29,000 Palestinians have been killed so far, according to the authorities in the Strip, after the movement launched an unprecedented attack on southern Israel that it called a “flood.” Al-Aqsa" claimed the lives of more than 1,200 Israelis, according to the Israeli authorities.
