What to know about al-Mawasi, the so-called ‘safe zone’ in Gaza
The al-Mawasi area in southern Gaza, near Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah, is one of the most overcrowded areas in a landscape devastated by nearly two years of Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.
Al-Mawasi, designated by the Israeli army as a “safe zone”, is an area of approximately 41sq km (15.83sq miles) lacking critical infrastructure and services.
