A woman and three children were killed on Friday in an airstrike by Israeli occupation aircraft on a tent for displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip. Medical sources said that "an Israeli airstrike targeted a tent for displaced people near the Doctors Without Borders Foundation west of Khan Yunis, resulting in the martyrdom of 4 citizens, including a woman and 3 children." This area is among the areas that the Israeli occupation previously claimed to classify as 'safe humanitarian,' before removing it from this classification. On Friday morning, the Israeli occupation reduced the "humanitarian zone" in the cities of Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah, asking residents of several areas to evacuate, which witnessed the displacement of hundreds of citizens. In less than one-fifth of the Gaza Strip, more than 1.7 million displaced citizens live in the Al-Mawasi area and its surroundings (west), which lacks the most basic necessities of life as a result of the ongoing Israeli war of extermination, according to the international humanitarian aid organization "Oxfam". Al-Mawasi are sandy areas along the coastline, extending from the southwest of Deir al-Balah city in the central Gaza Strip, passing through the west of Khan Yunis to the west of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the Gaza Strip by land, sea and air since October 7, 2023, which resulted in the martyrdom of 40,005 citizens and the injury of 92,401 others, while thousands of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and rescue crews cannot reach them.
