The Israeli military launched a devastating attack on Khan Younis in southern Gaza, killing at least 70 people in an area previously designated as a humanitarian zone. Hundreds of thousands were affected by the order to evacuate, with many seeking shelter in tents in Al-Mawasi.
The military claimed Hamas militants were using the area to launch attacks on Israel, leading to the assault on Khan Younis. Wounded civilians struggled to find medical care as hospitals were overwhelmed and supplies dwindled.
Displaced Palestinians faced repeated trauma as they were forced to flee once again, seeking safety in a region where no place remained truly secure. The UN denounced the ongoing violence and targeted attacks on humanitarian convoys.
The relentless cycle of violence and displacement in Gaza has garnered international condemnation, with calls for an end to the bloodshed and respect for international law. The world watches as the conflict continues to ravage the lives of innocent civilians.
