The city of Khan Yunis and the occupation scorched earth policy

“Not a town, a residential neighborhood, or a hospital in the city of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, was spared from the crimes of genocide that the Israeli occupation continues to commit. They killed children, women, and the sick and further destroyed the city’s neighborhoods.” This is how Muhammad Abu Mustafa describes what happened to his city as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression for the 139th day.

Abu Mustafa stated that the occupation killed dozens of my family members in the besieged city, the last of whom were five in the Al-Mawasi area west of the city, after storming the tents of the displaced and shooting at them. Among the martyrs were three children, adding: The occupation destroyed entire residential squares in the towns of Bani Suhaila, Khuza’a and Ma’an and Al-Qarara.. Ambulance crews were unable to recover the bodies of dozens of martyrs or rescue the wounded due to the ongoing occupation bombing of the city.

The spokesman for the Palestinian Red Crescent Raed Nims confirms that the health situation in the city of Khan Yunis is catastrophic and dangerous, as the occupation continues to target hospitals, destroying several departments in the Crescent’s Al-Amal Hospital, explaining that the operations to recover the martyrs and save the wounded seem to be an impossible task for the ambulance and civil defense teams as a result of the Zionist escalation.

Raed Sharab, a resident of the Al-Amal neighborhood in Khan Yunis, was displaced with his family to the Al-Mawasi area west of the city. He points out that the occupation destroyed most of the homes, infrastructure, and public facilities in Khan Yunis and turned them into a pile of rubble after blowing them up and bulldozing them, indicating that a humanitarian catastrophe befell the city as a result of the Israeli displacement policy.
