The humanitarian zone in Gaza was first delineated on May 6, 2024. It appeared on maps distributed by Avichay Adraee, the army's Arabic-language spokesman, to Gaza's civilian population from that date until the January cease-fire. While its borders shifted from time to time, the zone itself remained in place – a 62-square-kilometer area comprising 16 percent of the Gaza Strip.

The area, a sandy open space by the sea, is mainly used for agriculture and is located in Gaza's southwest. Throughout the war, Adraee and other IDF spokespeople repeatedly called on Gazans to evacuate to the area "for their safety." IDF marked off the area in yellow.

The last time the army released a map showing the humanitarian zone was on January 12. On January 15, four days before the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas was due to go into force, the army printed a map with evacuation orders and no longer included a humanitarian zone. The maps have stayed the same since the IDF started issuing them again after it ended the cease-fire.

During the cease-fire, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians left the humanitarian zone for their homes in North Gaza. However, as the fighting expanded, especially in the Rafah area, tens of thousands of displaced people returned to Muwasi, filling the area again with tents. Residents and humanitarian organizations say they consider this area relatively safe, since it was previously designated as a humanitarian zone and has almost no buildings or infrastructure.

Despite this, the UN says the area has been subject to 23 Israeli attacks. According to Palestinian officials, most of the dead in these attacks have been women and children. Last Wednesday, according to the Palestinian Civil Defense organization, 37 Gazans were killed after an attack caused a fire to spread across tents in Muwasi.

Since the resumption of fighting, the IDF has issued more than 20 evacuation orders from various parts of the Gaza Strip. Humanitarian sources indicate that the orders have no expiration date, and it is unclear whether people will be allowed to return to areas designated for evacuation after the fighting.

A recent UN report estimated that 69 percent of Gaza's land is designated as no-go zones, restricting Palestinian traffic either due to buffer zone designations or evacuation orders.

I'll be boosting this a little more than usual this month, as emergency bills have turned things upside-down 😵‍💫 My eldest cat Sookie had to have an emergency colectomy this week, which pretty much saved her life as the megacolon was so severe.. I just picked her up this morning, and her surgery went great! But I was only able to pay off the four-digit bill by borrowing the cash, and I'll be spending the foresseable future paying off that debt.

So if you've ever been tempted to join in on the naming contests or tip jar, anything is greatly appreciated! And know that you're also supporting this little lady and her well-being:
