A United Nations official says around 250,000 people live in the areas in southern Gaza where Israel has ordered another mass evacuation.
The Israeli army ordered the evacuation of Palestinians from much of Khan Younis, a sign that troops are likely to launch a new ground assault into the Gaza Strip’s second-largest city, which suffered widespread devastation during an offensive earlier in the year.
It was the third mass evacuation ordered in less than three months.
Louise Wateridge is with UNRWA in Gaza.
"It's another devastating blow to the humanitarian response here. It's another devastating blow for the the people and the families on the ground. It seems that they are forcibly being displaced again and again."

The mother of a Bondi Junction stabbing victim says it was challenging for some family members to find mental health support.

Mental health consumer and care advocates are calling for the government to address critical gaps in the mental health system.
Ms Young says it has been challenging to access support outside of New South Wales.
"Within hours of her death in the hideous aftermath, our New South Wales families were given an unconditional support. But not all of us have been so fortunate. Our son PJ, he lives in Tasmania with his family received no such treatment. "
