The situation in Gaza is reaching a critical point as residents warn that drinking water may run out in just three days. The United Nations announced on Friday that the Israeli military has instructed approximately 1.1 million Palestinians in Gaza to relocate southward within the next 24 hours. UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric emphasized, \"The United Nations considers it impossible for such a movement to take place without devastating humanitarian consequences.\"
Israel has severed electricity, water, and fuel supplies to Gaza, which relies on Israel for two-thirds of its electricity needs. This blockade has left Al Shifa Hospital as the sole provider of drinking water, food, and electricity for the residents of Khan Younis in Gaza. Ahmed Abu Radwan, a local resident, expressed his fears: \"No one knows what will happen in three days; the water tankers are running low on petrol, the hospitals are running low on spare water and the situation will only get worse.\"
The lack of essential resources is escalating tensions and worsening the humanitarian crisis in the region, with international communities urging swift action to prevent further suffering.
