Israeli forces again attack so-called ‘safe zone’ of al-Mawasi

“Al-Mawasi was among the areas targeted by the latest Israeli strikes, which have killed more than 50 people on Saturday,” Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reports from Deir el-Balah, Gaza.

“What we need to know about al-Mawasi is that it is considered an international humanitarian zone. It is also a zone where Palestinians have been ordered by Israeli forces to evacuate.

“Al-Mawasi is a very big evacuation area with barely any humanitarian facilities. Many people who fled Rafah and Khan Younis in the south are also squeezed into al-Mawasi camp,” she said.

“Since the Israeli war resumed on March 18, there have been continuing strikes on tents in the camp. We also have to take note that al-Mawasi is not the only camp being targeted,” Khoudary said.

“UNRWA schools and other shelters are also being targeted.”
