Gaza: Exodus from Khan Younis compounds pressure on meagre resources

About 150,000 people fled Khan Younis in a single day on Monday following evacuation orders issued by the Israeli military there, UN humanitarians have said, intensifying pressure on meagre food, water and places to seek shelter.

According to the UN aid coordination office, OCHA, some 1.9 million people - nine in 10 in Gaza – have been forcibly uprooted since 7 October, including people who have been repeatedly displaced.
