Home World More than 180,000 displaced from Gaza's Khan Younis in four days 27-07-2024 09:30 AM Ammon News - The United Nations said that more than 180,000 Palestinians have fled bombardment around the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis in four days. Recent “intensified hostilities” in the Khan Younis area, more than nine months into the Israeli war, have fuelled “new waves of internal displacement across Gaza”, said the UN humanitarian agency OCHA on Friday. It said that “about 182,000 people” have been displaced from central and eastern Khan Younis between Monday and Thursday, while “hundreds of other people remain stranded in eastern Khan Younis”. The Israeli military on Monday issued evacuation orders for parts of the southern city, announcing its forces would “forcefully operate” there, including in an area previously declared a safe humanitarian zone. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on Friday that nine out of 10 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced in the Gaza Strip. Israel has been waging a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting so far in the killing of 39,175 individuals, the majority of whom are women and children. Additionally, 90,403 people have been injured, according to preliminary figures.
