Families Flee New Israeli Assault in Gaza’s Khan Younis

In the midst of the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, families in Gaza’s Khan Younis are facing a dire situation. Israeli tanks have returned to the southern city, forcing thousands of residents to evacuate along congested roadways. Displaced Palestinians are fleeing on foot, with their belongings piled onto donkey carts and motorcycle rickshaws.
