The PRCS is moving medical and logistical equipment from Al-Quds Hospital and the PRCS’s warehouses in the Tell al-Hawa area to be used for medical points and emergency clinics in the Gaza and North Gaza governorates.
On Monday, Palestinians who had been forcefully displaced to the second-largest city in the Gaza Strip, Khan Younis, and those residing there were ordered to "evacuate", once again, as the Israeli occupation forces continue to show that nowhere in the Gaza Strip is safe.

The United Nations humanitarian agency reported on Wednesday that approximately nine out of every ten people in the Gaza Strip have experienced displacement at least once since the start of the Israeli aggression on Gaza.
Andrea De Domenico, head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in the Palestinian territories, provided a grim update on the situation. Speaking from occupied al-Quds to reporters in New York and Geneva, De Domenico stated that around 1.9 million people are currently displaced within Gaza.
"We estimate that nine in every ten people in the Gaza Strip have been internally displaced at least once, if not up to ten times, unfortunately, since October," De Domenico said. This number is an increase from the previous estimate of 1.7 million due to the recent Israeli onslaughts in Rafah and northern Gaza.
