UNRWA: We expect the displacement of 250,000 Palestinians from Khan Yunis
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) expected today, Tuesday, that 250,000 Palestinians will be forced to flee again from the city of Khan Yunis, despite the fact that there is no safe place in the Gaza Strip.
UNRWA said in a post on the X platform: “Just weeks after people were forced to return to the destroyed city of Khan Yunis (south of the Gaza Strip), the Israeli authorities issued new evacuation orders for the area.”
She added: "Once again, families are facing forced displacement, and our estimates indicate that 250,000 people will be forced to flee, even though there is no safe place in Gaza."
On Monday, the Israeli army warned several areas east of the city of Khan Yunis to evacuate “immediately,” claiming that they were “dangerous combat zones.”
The occupation army vowed in a recorded call to residents of the eastern regions to “act with extreme force and immediately in the region.”
