The UN human rights office has reiterated that there is “no safe in Gaza” amid Israel’s offensive, highlighting the Israeli military’s air raids and shelling on al-Mawasi, a so-called “humanitarian zone”, Al Jazeera reports.

Meanwhile, the area has limited or no infrastructure “to support the masses of civilians who have been already displaced there and where there is little access to shelter” or basic life-saving aid, it added.

“Confusing mass evacuation orders issued by a party that is concurrently increasing the intensity of its attacks on the areas from which evacuation is ordered and through which people must move place civilians in more danger and may increase the harm to civilians,” the office continued, saying this raised “serious concerns” in regards to Israel’s compliance with its “obligation to take all feasible precautions to avoid, and in any event to minimise, incidental loss of civilian life and injury to civilians”.
