United Nations:
Khan Younis fighting displaces 180,000 Gazans in four days
More than 180,000 Palestinians have fled Zionist attacks around the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis in four days, the United Nations said Friday, after an operation by the Israeli army to extract captives' bodies from the area.
Tehran, Qodsna - Recent "intensified hostilities" in the Khan Younis area, more than nine months into the war, have fueled "new waves of internal displacement across Gaza", said the UN humanitarian agency, OCHA.
It said that "about 182,000 people" have been displaced from central and eastern Khan Younis between Monday and Thursday, while "hundreds of other people remain stranded in eastern Khan Younis".
The Zionist military on Monday forced Palestinians to evacuate parts of the southern city, announcing that it would "forcefully operate" there, including in an area previously declared a safe humanitarian zone.
