Staff at aids group Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) have spoken about the “inhumane” evacuation orders where the Israeli military have issued orders for Deir Al-Balah and Khan Younis.
“The continuous forced displacement of people is inhumane,” says MSF project coordinator Jacob Granger.
“People have no belongings left, nowhere left to go. There is no room to put tents up. The overcrowding, severe lack of water, and minimal sanitation services are fueling the spread of diseases. We are unable to keep up with the overwhelming needs.”
Between July 1 and August 21, at least 16 evacuation orders have been issued by Israeli forces in Gaza. Nearly 2 million people – over 85% of the entire population of Gaza – have been displaced by this war, often multiple times.
