The al-Mawasi “humanitarian area” in southern Gaza has been expanded, the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) has announced, Al Jazeera reports.

The Israeli government agency, responsible for overseeing civilian policy in the occupied West Bank and Gaza, posted a map of the existing area with more than a dozen zones added.

“The expanded Humanitarian Area includes field hospitals that have been established since the outbreak of the war, tent compounds, and supplies of food, water, medicine, and medical equipment,” the post said.

Earlier, we reported the Israeli military had issued a new evacuation order for almost the entirety of northern Gaza, telling the civilian population there to flee to al-Mawasi.

The Israeli military has repeatedly attacked displacement camps in al-Mawasi despite its humanitarian designation, killing many Palestinians.
