SHOTLIST: KHAN YOUNIS, GAZA, PALESTINE (SEPT. 7, 2025) (ANADOLU - ACCESS ALL) 1. VARIOUS OF MAKESHIFT TENTS IN MEWASI AREA OF KHAN YOUNIS, GAZA 2. (SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) DISPLACED PALESTINIAN, ATIF ABU LEBDE, SPEAKING TO REPORTER, SAYING: [...] "Currently, we are in western Khan Younis in the Mewasi area. There are no basic living conditions, and no local, international, or humanitarian organizations are providing any assistance, even for the simplest needs. Access to water is extremely difficult; obtaining drinking water is a daily struggle, and most of the time we have to buy it at high prices. We lack almost everything. People in northern Gaza, who were forced to leave their homes, had to move south, hoping for safety. But moving south has been like going from one hell to another, worse than northern Gaza. The area is overcrowded, sanitation systems are damaged across the governorate, especially in western Khan Younis, and diseases are widespread. Mental health issues are common, and hospitals cannot provide proper treatment. Even if you go for a medical check-up, there is no real treatment or medication available." [...] 3. DISPLACED PALESTINIAN FAMILY LIVING IN MAKESHIFT TENT 4. PALESTINIAN CHILDREN CARRYING PLASTIC CONTAINER 5. (SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) DISPLACED PALESTINIAN WOMAN, NADA ABU ASI, SPEAKING TO REPORTER, SAYING: [...] "We are afraid of being displaced again, afraid for our children, afraid they may face harm at any moment. Especially as more people continue to arrive from the north, the overcrowding increases, and there is no place left for us to shelter. We feel trapped, suffocated, as if there is no way out. The pressure of this life is unbearable. What can we do in this situation? We just ask for a solution." 6. VARIOUS OF PALESTINIANS IN TENTS 7. VARIOUS WIDE SHOTS OF MEWASI AREA, MAKESHIFT TENTS, PEOPLE IN STREETKHAN YOUNIS, GAZA, PALESTINE - SEPT. 7, 2025: Palestinians displaced by more than 23 months of Israeli attacks on the blockaded Gaza Strip are struggling to survive in densely packed tents in the Mewasi area, west of Khan Younis. Displaced families face severe hygiene challenges due to limited access to clean water and inadequate infrastructure, a situation that has particularly contributed to the spread of disease among children. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians seeking shelter in Mewasi, designated by Israel as a so-called “humanitarian zone” to protect them from bombardments, continue to be affected by attacks. Atif Abu Lebde, a displaced Palestinian trying to endure harsh conditions in the Mewasi tents, summarized life in the area as living in hell. He warned that Palestinians forced by Israel to move from northern to southern Gaza are effectively moving from one hell to another, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Nada Abu Asi, another displaced resident, said Mewasi is not safe. She expressed fear of a large-scale displacement triggered by intensified Israeli attacks on northern Gaza and the implementation of Israel’s occupation plans in the region. The Israeli genocidal war in Gaza has killed nearly 64,400 Palestinians since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, which is facing famine. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
