Thousands of displaced Palestinians east of Deir al-Balah city in the central Gaza Strip began a new displacement movement on Wednesday after the Israeli occupation army issued orders to evacuate new areas, which it previously claimed were "humanitarian."

Thus, the occupation army reduced the area of the alleged "humanitarian zone" east of Deir al-Balah, which is crowded with hundreds of thousands of displaced people, after orders to evacuate new areas from it, in order to carry out a military operation there, as it ordered residents and displaced people in a number of Deir al-Balah towns to evacuate them in preparation for attacking them, in a new reduction of the areas that it claims are "safe."

The occupation army published a map on the "X" platform, calling on "all residents and displaced persons in Blocks 129 and 130 in the Al-Mahta and Deir al-Balah neighborhoods to the south, from Salah al-Din Street to the street designated for displacement."

Thousands of citizens were forced to leave their homes on foot, carrying small bags and some basic belongings such as blankets, bedding and a little food.

The majority of the area of the “humanitarian zone” lacks infrastructure, and there is no water or service facilities, as it is an uninhabited area, and is witnessing health and environmental crises, and diseases and epidemics are spreading in it.

The displaced suffer from a scarcity of transportation and various means of transport, due to the lack of sufficient fuel, which forces them to use handcarts or distribute luggage among all family members.

Displaced families are finding it very difficult to transport the elderly, the sick, and their basic needs.

According to the Civil Defense, the occupation has placed more than 450,000 Palestinian citizens under the burden of "new humanitarian challenges", after reducing the area that it previously classified as "safe humanitarian" in the Gaza Strip.
