Khan Younis, Gaza Strip – A new evacuation order has been issued by the Israeli military, affecting more than 2,000 people in the Khan Younis refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip.
The order was issued on Monday, December 3, 2024, and gave residents 24 hours to leave their homes. The order affects an area of approximately 1 square kilometer, and includes homes, schools, and businesses.
The Israeli military said that the evacuation was necessary for “security reasons”, but did not provide any further details. Residents of the area said that they were not given any prior warning of the evacuation, and that they were forced to leave their homes with only the clothes on their backs.
“We don’t know where we’re going to go,” said one resident, who asked not to be named. “We don’t have any money, and we don’t have any place to stay.”
The evacuation is the latest in a series of forced evictions that have been carried out by the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip in recent years. In 2023, the Israeli military evicted more than 1,000 people from the Bedouin village of Al Araqib, which was located in the southern Gaza Strip.
The evictions have been condemned by human rights groups, who say that they violate international law. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said that the evictions “are part of a wider pattern of human rights violations against Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territory.”
The evictions have also been condemned by the Palestinian Authority, which said that they are “a clear violation of international law and a war crime.”
The Israeli government has defended the evictions, saying that they are necessary for security reasons. The government has also said that the evictions are carried out in accordance with international law.
The evictions have taken place amid a wider crackdown on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. In recent months, the Israeli military has increased its airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, and has also imposed a blockade on the territory.
The blockade has resulted in a severe humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. The United Nations has said that the blockade is “a collective punishment of the civilian population of Gaza” and has called for it to be lifted.
