Adnan Abu Hasna, media advisor to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza, warned of Israeli plans to establish what they call a "humanitarian city" in the southern Gaza Strip, asserting that it would serve as a mass detention camp for Palestinians.
Abu Hasna said in a press statement, "The occupation has been planning to implement this goal since establishing aid distribution points in southern Gaza, but this time, the Israeli efforts to forcibly displace the residents of the Strip to mass detention camps in Rafah were explicitly announced, as a prelude to the displacement of Palestinians from their land."
He explained that these efforts confirm that Israel is still committed to displacing the population of the Gaza Strip, expressing his deep regret over the enormous pressures exerted by the occupation authorities on the Palestinian people amid a lack of aid, the collapse of the health system, and the depletion of fuel, in an attempt to force the voluntary displacement of the population of the Gaza Strip.
Abu Hasna warned of the repercussions of implementing this plan, which would force Palestinians to relocate to this completely destroyed area, which is unable to accommodate 2 million Palestinians within 60 square kilometers of Gaza, with no life or future prospects for them.
