UNRWA Warns Of Israeli Plan To Create 'Mass Internment Camps' In Southern Gaza
RAMALLAH (Palestine), July 15 (Bernama-WAFA) -- The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) media advisor, Adnan Abu Hasna in Gaza, has raised alarm over Israel's reported plans to establish what it calls a "humanitarian city" in southern Gaza. Palestinian News and Information Agency (WAFA) reported that he warned that the initiative is essentially a blueprint for mass internment camps. In a press statement, Abu Hasna said Israel has long been laying the groundwork for such a plan through the establishment of aid distribution points in southern Gaza. 'Now, they are openly declaring their intent to forcibly displace the population of Gaza into collective detention camps in Rafah, as a prelude to their expulsion from Palestinian land,' he stated. He warned that this development signals Israel's continued commitment to the forced transfer of Gaza's population, expressing deep concern over the extreme pressure being applied to Palestinians. 'The total collapse of the healthcare system, absence of aid, and depletion of fuel are all being weaponised to coerce the population into voluntary displacement,' he said. He further cautioned that the so-called humanitarian zone is incapable of hosting Gaza's 2 million residents within just 60 square kilometres of devastated land, describing the area as uninhabitable and void of any semblance of life or future. Abu Hasna urged the international community to intervene immediately to halt what he described as a dangerous and deliberate attempt to forcibly displace Palestinians under the guise of humanitarian relief. -- BERNAMA-WAFA

UNRWA: The So-Called "Humanitarian City" in Southern Gaza Would Be a Mass Detention Camp for Palestinians
UNRWA: The So-Called "Humanitarian City" in Southern Gaza Would Be a Mass Detention Camp for Palestinians The media advisor for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza, Adnan Abu Hasna, has warned against Israeli plans to establish what is being referred to as a "humanitarian city" in southern Gaza, stating that such a project would effectively serve as mass detention camps for Palestinians. اضافة اعلان According to Palestinian media outlets, Abu Hasna said in a press statement: 'The occupation has been working toward this goal since setting up aid distribution points in southern Gaza. This time, however, it has openly announced its intent to forcibly transfer Gaza's population into mass detention camps in Rafah as a precursor to expelling Palestinians from their land.' He stressed that this plan underscores Israel's continued push to forcibly displace Gaza's residents, expressing deep concern over the intense pressure being exerted on the Palestinian population amid a collapse of the healthcare system, fuel shortages, and a severe lack of humanitarian aid, which he says is part of a deliberate effort to drive Palestinians into leaving voluntarily. Abu Hasna also warned of the catastrophic consequences of implementing such a plan, which would force Palestinians into a completely destroyed area that cannot accommodate 2 million people within just 60 square kilometers—an area that offers no livable conditions or future prospects. Earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated that he had instructed the military to prepare a plan to establish what he called a "humanitarian city" consisting of tent camps on the ruins of Rafah, aimed at relocating 600,000 Palestinians in a first phase, after subjecting them to strict security screenings. He added that those moved would not be allowed to leave afterward. — (Petra)

UNRWA: Premature Babies Born with Unprecedented Genetic Changes in Gaza
DaysofPal—The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has warned that premature babies in Gaza are being born with unprecedented genetic changes, as the humanitarian and health crisis in the besieged enclave continues to worsen amid the ongoing Israeli genocide. In a statement published on its official website on Sunday, UNRWA confirmed that its teams continue to provide humanitarian services in the Gaza Strip, despite enormous challenges and a severe shortage of essential medical supplies. UNRWA reported a notable increase in cases of malnutrition, particularly among children and the most vulnerable groups, since the beginning of the intensified Israeli genocide in March. Moreover, UNRWA warned that restrictions on humanitarian aid, including food and medicine, are exacerbating the health and living conditions of Gaza's residents, calling on the international community to take urgent action to ensure the delivery of vital supplies and end the escalating suffering. It cautioned that the continued deterioration of conditions signals an imminent humanitarian catastrophe amid a near-total collapse of the healthcare system, rising poverty, and soaring malnutrition rates, especially among children and women. UNRWA's media advisor, Adnan Abu Hasna, stated that 70,000 children in Gaza are suffering from malnutrition and that premature babies are being born with unprecedented genetic alterations, likely as a result of extreme conditions and lack of adequate care. In an interview with Alaraby TV, Abu Hasna said, 'There are no medications in Gaza's hospitals, and the medical teams are exhausted due to the dire situation.' He added that more than 90% of Gaza's population suffers from malnutrition and noted a sharp increase in the rate of killings by Israeli occupation forces, with over 110 people being killed daily in recent days through airstrikes and artillery shelling.

Israeli fresh attacks kill dozens across Gaza, including aid seekers
DaysofPal – The Israeli Occupation Forces have killed at least 39 Palestinians, including 15 people waiting for humanitarian aid, and wounded dozens more since dawn Wednesday in a wave of airstrikes and gunfire that struck across the Gaza Strip, from its northern areas to its far south. According to medical sources and eyewitnesses, the latest Israeli attacks targeted homes, shelters for displaced people, and aid distribution points, killing civilians in Deir al-Balah, Rafah, Gaza City, and Khan Yunis. In one of the most deadly strikes, five people were killed while waiting for aid in western Rafah, while another five were killed in Deir al-Balah during a bombing that struck a civilian gathering. In Khan Yunis, Israeli forces killed at least 12 Palestinians in three separate attacks on tents sheltering displaced families. Additional bombings in the same area killed two more people in Al-Mawasi and injured others. In central Gaza, 10 Palestinians were killed and more than 50 injured after Israeli forces opened fire on aid recipients along Salah al-Din Street and in the Netzarim area. Three others were killed in Israeli strikes targeting civilian gatherings in the city center, while two bodies were recovered from the eastern outskirts of Khan Yunis. In Gaza City, eight people were wounded in an Israeli airstrike on an apartment building in the Al-Mashhara area of the Al-Tuffah neighborhood. The adjacent Al-Zaytoun district also came under intense aerial and artillery fire overnight. The attacks come amid what Palestinian officials and international organizations describe as a genocidal war, now in its 21st month, marked by mass killings, starvation, and the destruction of basic infrastructure across the Gaza Strip. Humanitarian conditions have continued to deteriorate sharply. On Tuesday, the Gaza Health Ministry announced that the number of Palestinians killed at aid distribution centers operated under the U.S.-Israeli mechanism since May 27 has risen to 600, with 4,278 others wounded. These attacks have turned life-saving aid sites into deadly zones. Meanwhile, the United Nations reported that 1,500 families have been newly displaced in recent days, primarily from northern Gaza and eastern areas under Israeli evacuation orders. According to UNRWA, 82% of the Gaza Strip is now under evacuation orders, and most Palestinians 'have nowhere to go,' as schools, hospitals, and shelters are either destroyed or targeted. Adnan Abu Hasna, media advisor to UNRWA, described the situation as a 'massive wave of displacement' coinciding with the intensification of Israeli military operations. 'The humanitarian situation in Gaza is beyond critical,' said a relief worker in Deir al-Balah. 'Even those lining up for flour or shelter can be killed without warning.' With no safe zones left and aid corridors repeatedly attacked, Gaza's 2.2 million residents remain trapped in one of the world's most densely populated and devastated war zones, as the violence continues without pause.
