Palestinians flee to Nasser hospital after Israeli military orders Khan Younis evacuation

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) ordered a mass evacuation of Palestinians from Gaza's second-largest city, Khan Younis, on Monday. The notice is prompting concerns that Israeli troops may soon return – just months after they withdrew from the southern city.

The new evacuation zone includes the major aid crossing to southern Gaza, along with an aid route inside the territory that Israel has said it would safeguard. The danger zone includes Khan Younis’s European Hospital and has prompted hundreds to flee the health institution and flood the nearby Nasser Hospital, according to WHO officials.

“Very sad that, yesterday, reportedly 270 patients self-evacuated along with medical staff, mainly to the Nasser medical complex. This morning more patients were evacuated and only three patients remained at the European guys' hospital and three in the ICSC field hospital,” Rik Peeperkorn, the WHO’s representative for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, said on Tuesday.

Though Peeperkorn said the “hospital itself is not under evacuation orders,” he suggested health workers and locals "self-evacuated" after becoming accustomed to hospitals going from “partly-functional” to “non-functional,” following attacks by Israel's military.

The IDF is said to be in the final stages of its offensive in the nearby city of Rafah – where a majority of Gazans once considered a safe haven.

The irony is the fact that both sides share the same DNA, but their genetic predisposition leans towards trying to annihilate one another over religion and materialism.

Why did Plastilin parents send their children to Hamas terror camps from the age of 5? Why did they send them from such a young age to dig terror tunnels? Would responsible parents do something like this to their children?

[troyingram]

I can't believe Israel would sign a peace deal and just go back to the golly of missells.

Palestinians deserve their own state. So do the Tibetans, Uyghurs, and Hong Kongers in China 🇨🇳.

[GordonEngels]

What does it tell you that Israel now has support from groups like the Rassemblement National, AfD, the BNP, etc (all antisemites).

[emmab-ksnu]

You are so biased you call truth a lie and lie your own truth

[samuelobisesan]

From the north to the south, they will keep fleeing until the Palestinians turn your backs on Hamas. Do not start what you cannot finish, or you're gonna learn the hard way.

[allanbrown]

You mean they flee to their local Hamas Hotel 🙄

[charlesbronson]

Delenda est Carthago. Truly, mankind has learned nothing.

[johnmcguire]

Too bad netanyahu declined the ceasefire. As it stands the isreali project will end before the decade but without the ceasefire it wont last another couple of years.
