Israel has again warned Palestinians in the southern city of Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip to leave the city and head west to safety. There they are also closer to distribution centers for humanitarian aid.
“We are asking people to leave. I know it’s not easy for many of them, but we don’t want civilians to get caught in the crossfire,” Mark Regev, an adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said on US television channel MSNBC. Khan Yunis in the south of the Gaza Strip has more than 400,000 inhabitants. In recent weeks, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have fled the embattled north to the south.
