Since this month, the IDF has issued three consecutive "evacuation orders" requiring residents of Khan Yunis and parts of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip to evacuate to the so-called "humanitarian zone," saying the move was intended to launch a strong military operation against local Palestinian armed groups. CCTV reporters saw in Khan Yunis that the frequent evacuation orders by the IDF brought only pain and fear to the people of Gaza.


Mohammed Tafesh, reporter of CCTV: Less than two weeks later, the Israeli army once again warned residents in the eastern part of Khan Yunis to evacuate their homes and warned them not to stay there. These people, who had just returned to their homes a few days ago, once again fled in panic with their luggage, heading to the western area known as the so-called "safe zone" with their unknown fate.


Hani Fajim, a displaced person: This is the third time I have been displaced in a short period of time and the sixth time since the new conflict began. It is like this for many people: we have been home for only five days and suddenly we are told to leave again.


Maha Falih, a displaced person: This is my eighth time moving and it’s only been a week since I returned home to rebuild, but I don’t think I’ll ever find my house again this time.

The statistical report released by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Near Eastern Palestine Refugees on the 9th showedCurrently, 1.9 million people have been forced to flee in the Gaza Strip, accounting for 90% of the total population of Gaza.

At the end of July, Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, said that only 14% of the Gaza Strip was not affected by the Israeli army's "evacuation order". The chaos and panic caused by the "evacuation order" in the area affected almost every Gazan.


Maha Falih, a displaced person: We are suffering from extremely abnormal humiliation and suffering, and we don’t know where to go. There is no safe place in the entire Gaza Strip. Anyone who dares to say there is a safe place is a liar.
