Unwra condemns Israel's new forced evacuation orders on Khan Younis
The UN's Palestinian refugee agency (Unwra) stated on X that Israel's new evacuation orders, issued earlier today, will cause "more suffering and displacement" for the already exhausted population of the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli army's orders impact around 400,000 people in Khan Younis and were swiftly followed by a massive assault on the city, resulting in at least 70 deaths since this morning.
The agency shared a video of the latest evacuation, noting that the people forced to flee have "nowhere safe to go."
New evacuation orders today in Khan Younis mean more suffering and displacement. Families had to pack what is left of their belongings and run, amid bombardment, and with nowhere safe to go.
