Four Palestinians have been killed and dozens more injured after a tent in the al-Mawasi area, near Khan Younis, was hit by an Israeli attack, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reports from Deir el-Balah, Gaza.
“Israel has designated al-Mawasi as a safe humanitarian zone, where most of the population of Rafah and Khan Younis has now been squeezed due to continuous evacuation orders.
“The makeshift tents are very close to each other. Some caught fire after the attack,” she said.
The injured Palestinians are being treated for burns caused by the artillery shelling that struck the tent.
“Palestinians are aware that al-Mawasi has been targeted multiple times, but say there is simply nowhere else for them to go, as most of their homes in the eastern parts of Khan Younis are now in an evacuation zone.”
