IDF evacuation order in eastern Khan Younis triggers mass displacement
The Israeli military issued massive new evacuation orders covering 71 residential blocks in eastern Khan Younis and parts of Rafah, forcing an estimated 56,000 people to immediately flee into the overcrowded Al Mawasi humanitarian zone. The forced displacement occurred amid intense ground incursions and ongoing bombardments that severely damaged civilian infrastructure and hospital facilities. The UN reported that the sudden influx exacerbated dire living conditions, critical shortages of water, and unsafe shelters.
