New waves of enforced displacement for eastern Khan Younis

The past 24 hours have been quite difficult for residents of the eastern parts of Khan Younis, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Deir el-Balah, Gaza.

Khan Younis was under heavy military incursions and pretty much full Israeli control for four months.

The entire city was obliterated and all of its social services destroyed.

Now a new wave of enforced displacement is pushing residents from the eastern parts of Khan Younis into the central and western parts of the city, including the al-Mawasi “evacuation zone”, that has been largely unsafe as it was repeatedly bombed.

The lack of fuel means what people are doing right now is either walking for miles or using animals to pull carts to leave.

This constant movement and enforced displacement is taking its toll on a population that has been traumatised and displaced for the past nine months.
