Forced Displacement Observed in Khan Yunis and Gaza City
What happened
Forced family displacement was observed in Khan Yunis and Gaza City on October 9, 2026. The destruction and attacks, including an Israeli airstrike in November 2024, forced residents to leave their homes. These families traveled south, sometimes for seventeen miles, to shelter in overcrowded displacement camps in Khan Yunis.
