Israel Establishes ‘Humanitarian Zone’ in Khan Younis Amid Intensifying Gaza Operation

Mourners react during the funeral of Palestinians killed by Israeli fire while trying to receive aid on Sunday, according to medics, at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis

The Israeli military has announced the creation of a designated “humanitarian area” in the Al-Mawasi district of Khan Younis, southern Gaza, as it prepares to expand military operations in the enclave. According to the Israel Defense Forces, the zone will include field hospitals, water pipelines, desalination facilities, and food supplies, with residents urged to evacuate there for safety.

The military says the safe zone will operate in coordination with the United Nations and international organizations, though aid groups have previously warned that such evacuations risk worsening the humanitarian crisis.

The war, now approaching two years, has displaced hundreds of thousands and left Gaza facing severe shortages of food, water, and medical care.
