On Wednesday, August 21, the latest Israeli evacuation warnings fell
out of the sky over the most crowded part of Gaza, Deir al-Balah in
the center of the besieged enclave. The leaflets and phone calls from
the Israeli army referenced a map informing people which numbered
block would be targeted for an imminent invasion. These are the tools
the Israeli army uses to control where people in Gaza move, forcing
them to evacuate from one area to another over and over again.
Last week, evacuation orders were sent to areas in Khan Younis and
Nuseirat to the south, causing a mass exodus to Deir al-Balah. Those
same refugees now have to move yet again, but Khan Younis and parts of Nuseirat are still in critical danger due to the ongoing Israeli
invasion. There is nowhere left to go.
In a press release last Sunday, the Deir al-Balah municipality said
that the waves of evacuation reaching Deir al-Balah were causing an unprecedented number of displaced people to cram into a tiny zone.
According to the statement, Deir al-Balah’s total area is 42 square kilometers, and almost a million displaced people are now distributed
across 200 displacement centers there.
“This makes Deir al-Balah the most crowded displacement camp in
history,” the municipality said.
On Tuesday, the Israeli army bombed the local market in Deir al-Balah, killing 9 civilians. Several hours later, the army bombarded a school
in Gaza City sheltering 700 people, killing 10 people, according to
the Palestinian Civil Defense.
Civil Defense teams were forced to cut up a martyr’s body to pull him
out of the rubble, which had been stuck under three collapsed ceilings
inside the school. Survivors say that it was one of the most horrific
scenes they have witnessed since the start of the war.

It makes one wonder what the survivors of the death camps in Poland
and Germany meant by "never again."
