Thousands of Palestinian civilians, who were forced to shelter from airstrikes in hospitals, have been trapped as Israel continues its assault on Khan Younis.
Before October 7, Khan Younis was home to approximately 88,000 Palestinians. Since the Israeli military pushed civilians to move from the north to the south of the Gaza Strip, as part of its ground offensive, an estimated 425,000 internally displaced people are now living in the tiny coastal territory.
