In a tragic turn of events, an Israeli airstrike has claimed the life of prominent Palestinian dermatologist, Dr. Hassan Hamdan, along with eight members of his family. The family had complied with military orders to evacuate their home in Khan Younis, seeking refuge in an Israeli-designated safe zone.
The Hamdan family, a group of around a dozen people spanning three generations, fled in the middle of the night. They sought shelter with relatives in Deir al-Balah, only to be killed hours later by an Israeli airstrike that hit their new refuge.
This killing has added to the confusion, chaos, and misery for Palestinians, who are already facing their third mass evacuation in as many months. The incident underscores the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where even designated safe zones are no longer safe.
