The IDF says it has expanded the designated “humanitarian zone” in southern Gaza, where the vast majority of the Palestinian population in the Strip currently resides.
The zone is where most humanitarian aid is directed, and where several field hospitals have been established.
The size of the zone has changed multiple times, amid evolving IDF operations against the Hamas terror group.
The expansion of the zone comes as the IDF operates against Hamas in northern Gaza’s Jabalia and nearby towns, during which over 55,000 Palestinian civilians have been displaced. The evacuated civilians have so far mostly headed to Gaza City, and not to the Strip’s south.
