Israel plans to collect all the inhabitants of Gaza, more than two million people, in the ruins of Rafah

Rafah, Gaza.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced today that he has instructed the army to prepare a plan to establish a "new humanitarian city" in the ruins of the city of Rafah at the southern end of the Gaza Strip.

According to Katz, this "new humanitarian zone" would initially house some 600,000 Palestinians who barely live off the coast of Mawasi near Rafah and who have arrived there in recent months after being forcibly expelled by the Zionist Army from other parts of the Palestinian territory.

Israel's goal is to concentratetheentire population of Gaza (more than 2 million people) on this point. Yet the Defense Minister has again encouraged the Palestinians to "voluntarily leave" other countries, as US President Donald Trump proposed earlier this year.

Palestinians entering this "new humanitarian city" after Israel passes a security checkpoint that will check whether theyare "members of Hamas," Katz has warned.

Katz has specified that the Army would be solely responsible for monitoring this "new humanitarian city", where new areas for the distribution of aid would be set up, while their management would remain in the hands of international organizations, but has not provided further details.

All this suggests that the controversial Humanitarian Foundation for Gaza (GHF) , sponsored by the United States and Israel, will be responsible for this management.

In particular, Israel today killed at least five Palestiniansin Rafah while waiting for a humanitarian aid delivery facility, the Israeli news agency Wafa reported.

Since Israel changed its model of distributing aid to Gaza at the end of May, which had hitherto been mainly dealt with by UN agencies, chaos and riots have occurred almost daily in the new areas managed by the GHF.

In total, the GHF has so far installed only four distribution centres, one in the centre of the Strip and three in the south.

According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, more than 750 people have been killed near the relief areas and waiting for the few food trucks entering the UN, and more than 5,000 have been injured.

Although it is unknown how many people have been killed by Israeli gunfire, some soldiers who have guarded these distribution areas confessed to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that they had been instructed by commanders to fire onthe Palestinians for no apparent reason or objectionable argument.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said today in a statement that its campaign hospital in Rafah, the only one fully operational at this southern point in the Strip, has served more than 2,200 Palestinians since the end of May.

On the other hand, on Monday, the Zionist Army killed more than 30 people in its attacks on the northern Strip.
