Gaza City, Gaza Strip - August 10, 2024

More than 75,000 people have been displaced in the southwest Gaza Strip just in the past few days, according to a United Nations agency on Sunday.

On Saturday night, the Israeli military issued additional evacuation orders, forcing residents in parts of central Khan Younis City in the southern Gaza Strip to move to designated "humanitarian zones."

Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), posted on X that the displaced Palestinians "are going to overcrowded places where shelters are already overflowing with families."

"Unlike in other wars," he wrote, "the people of Gaza are trapped and have nowhere to go."

The Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, stated Sunday that it had attacked Israeli soldiers and vehicles with mortars in Khan Younis and bombed the Israeli command center in the northeastern part of the city.

The armed group also released footage showing rockets being used to attack the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon and Israeli military positions in the Gaza Strip.

On Sunday, the Palestine News and Information Agency WAFA reported that the Israeli army carried out air raids on several areas in the enclave, including the Nuseirat and Bureij refugee camps in central Gaza, as well as Khan Younis.

The Gaza's government media office said on Sunday that data shows the Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip has destroyed over a hundred schools and resulted in the deaths of more than 100 university professors and academics, as well as over 500 primary and secondary school teachers across the besieged enclave.

The Israeli side has not yet responded to the claim.
