GAZA, Jul 3 (NNN-WAFA) – Residents in the Gaza Strip have no more safe place to go to, due to the daily Israeli airstrikes, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said yesterday, referring to an evacuation order, issued by the Zionist army.
The Israeli regime, on Monday, issued evacuation orders, stretching from the southernmost regions of Rafah, to the eastern parts of Khan Younis, including the European Gaza Hospital (EGH), the ICRC said in a press statement.
“Thousands of people learned of the evacuation instructions, late in the day, and fled in panic and fear,” it added, noting that, this group includes patients, families and the medical professionals, who are crucial for the running of EGH.
“Wherever people flee to, they will arrive scarred and traumatised. They will face a lack of food, drinking water, sanitation, health care – and the prospect of needing to flee again,” it said.
On Monday, the Israeli Zionist army issued an evacuation order to the neighbourhoods and areas in the cities of Khan Younis and Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), yesterday, estimated that 250,000 people will have to flee Khan Younis, just weeks after people were forced by the Zionist regime, to return to the devastated Khan Younis.
So far, about 1.9 million people, or 80 percent of Gaza’s population, have been displaced across Gaza, the United Nations Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza, Sigrid Kaag, said yesterday.
The Israeli regime has been launching large-scale offensive, over and over again in the Gaza Strip to retaliate against a Hamas rampage through the southern Israeli border on Oct 7, last year.
The Palestinian death toll from the ongoing Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip has risen to almost 38,000, Gaza-based health authorities said in a statement.– NNN-WAFA
