Middle East Conflict

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are fleeing the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis after Israel issued an evacuation order. The evacuation includes Gaza’s European Hospital, leaving many sick and wounded patients without care. 

Ambulances are navigating through the heavily damaged areas of southern Gaza but have no facilities accepting patients. Khan Younis's European Union Hospital has closed following the Israeli evacuation order. There remain limited options as Nasser Hospital is already at full capacity.

Many of the injured were victims of overnight Israeli strikes that killed 25 Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials. Israel's military stated the bombings targeted areas used to launch rockets into Israel, allegedly by the militant group Palestine Islamic Jihad, which sometimes allies with Hamas.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that operations against Hamas will continue until the group is eliminated, despite the ongoing fighting showing no signs of subsiding. Consequently, a massive evacuation involving approximately a quarter of a million people from Khan Younis and its surrounding areas is underway, compounding civilian suffering and increasing humanitarian needs. 

Though Israel has boosted the flow of drinking water to Gaza, experts warn that the aid provided is insufficient for the population, which is under constant displacement. A displaced resident expressed the despair felt among many: "I can't do it... We're going to die walking."



Palestinians flee Khan Younis as Israeli forces approach

Ambulances weave through the dusty, demolished south of Gaza with nowhere to take the injured. The last facility accepting patients Khan Younis's European Union Hospital closed after an Israeli evacuation order leaving this man on the street with both legs broken. There's no one to care for us patients, he says As he and others are turned away from the only other option the overflowing Nasser Hospital. Many of these wounded arrived after overnight Israeli strikes that killed 25 Palestinians according to Gaza health officials. Israel's military says it bombed areas used to launch rockets over the border. Attacks claimed by Palestine Islamic Jihad a militant group that sometimes fights alongside Hamas. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows Israeli operations will continue until Hamas is eliminated. We are full of the spirit of victory, he says though there's no sign the fighting is ending. Instead thousands of Palestinians are on the move once again but a quarter of a million people told by Israel to evacuate Khan Younis and the surrounding area. An evacuation of such a massive scale would only heighten the suffering of civilians and drive humanitarian needs even higher. Israel has increased the flow of drinking water to Gaza but experts say there's still not nearly enough aid for a population constantly forced to move. I can't do it, he says. We're going to die walking. Sasha Petrusik, CBC News, Toronto.
