Gaza: Media advisor to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza, Adnan Abu Hasna, has raised alarm over Israel’s reported plans to establish what it calls a “humanitarian city” in southern Gaza, warning that the initiative is essentially a blueprint for mass internment camps.

According to Qatar News Agency, Abu Hasna stated that Israel has long been laying the groundwork for such a plan through the establishment of aid distribution points in southern Gaza. He emphasized that Israel is now openly declaring its intent to forcibly displace the population of Gaza into collective detention camps in Rafah, as a prelude to their expulsion from Palestinian land.

Abu Hasna expressed deep concern over Israel’s continued commitment to the forced transfer of Gaza’s population, highlighting the extreme pressure being applied to Palestinians. He noted that the total collapse of the healthcare system, absence of aid, and depletion of fuel are all being used to coerce the population into voluntary displacement.

He further cautioned that the so-called humanitarian zone is incapable of hosting Gaza’s 2 million residents within just 60 square kilometers 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.
