Gaza - July 08, 2024

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) issued a statement on Monday announcing that Israeli forces conducted military operations in Gaza City in the north and the cities of Rafah and Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

On Monday afternoon, Israeli forces requested that residents in the northwestern and western areas of Gaza City evacuate to the city of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.

The day before, the Israeli military had also issued an announcement, urging residents from multiple neighborhoods in the center of Gaza City to evacuate towards the western coastal areas of the city.

According to the official Palestinian news agency, the Israeli military conducted military operations in various locations in the city starting in the early hours of Monday, resulting in thousands of people being forced to leave.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Monday that with nine out of every 10 people estimated to be displaced in Gaza, new waves of displacement are mainly affecting people who have already been displaced multiple times, only to find themselves forced to flee again under shelling.

Many have been forced to reset their lives repeatedly without any of their belongings or any prospect of finding safety or reliable access to essential services.
