Israel shrinks 'humanitarian zone’ with new Deir al-Balah ejection orders

The Israeli military issued new ejection orders for displaced Palestinians packed in the ever-shrinking so-called “humanitarian zone” in the central Gaza Strip, as bombing in the region intensified. 

The new orders affect parts of the small Deir al-Balah city in central Gaza, where most displaced Palestinians have been taking shelter for months, particularly after the invasion of Rafah in May. 

Deir al-Balah was at the heart of Israel’s “humanitarian zone” where civilians could take safe shelter. However, the military has repeatedly bombed such areas since the war began over 10 months ago.
