IDF Expansion of Operations in Central Gaza Triggers New Evacuations
Following new military orders on March 25, 2026, the Israel Defense Forces expanded ground maneuvers in eastern Deir al-Balah. UNRWA and Al Jazeera reported that roughly 38,000 Palestinians were forced to flee toward the designated humanitarian zone in Al-Mawasi. Families were observed moving on foot with minimal belongings as shelling intensified near the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, adding to the extreme overcrowding and humanitarian strain in the coastal enclave.
