VARIOUS OF SMOKE RISING FROM AFAR AFTER ISRAELI STRIKE KHAN YOUNIS, GAZA, PALESTINE - SEPT. 25, 2025: Palestinian families forced to flee Gaza due to Israeli attacks have sought shelter in schools in Khan Younis, where these buildings, once used for education, now serve as refuges for those experiencing pain and helplessness.

After fleeing to Khan Younis and finding shelter in schools, Palestinian families then traveled to areas designated by Israel as safe zones.

Upon their arrival, they discovered destroyed classrooms and courtyards filled with tents.

In these overcrowded conditions, some families cleaned collapsed toilets and old sewers to convert them into shelters for their children, all while facing disease threats in locations where sewage flows between tents.

Since March 2, Israel has fully closed Gaza’s crossings, blocking food and aid convoys and deepening famine conditions in the enclave. Only limited supplies are sporadically allowed in, and many are looted by armed groups that Gaza authorities accuse Israel of protecting.

Israel, as the occupying power, has a record of intercepting ships headed to Gaza, seizing vessels and deporting activists. Critics describe such actions as piracy.

The Israeli army has killed nearly 66,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in Gaza since October 2023. The relentless bombardment has rendered the enclave uninhabitable and led to starvation and the spread of diseases.
