US warns Israel over next phase of military operation into southern Gaza
(snip)
Aid groups say that more than 1 million Palestinians in Gaza are displaced from their homes, and that massive overcrowding in temporary shelters risk spreading communicable diseases.

“It is extremely important … that the conduct of the Israeli campaign when it moves to the south must be done, in a way, that is to a maximum extent, not designed to produce significant further displacement of persons,” the official said.
“It will be beyond disruptive, it will be beyond the capacity of any humanitarian support network, however reinforced, however robust to be able to cope with. It can’t happen.”
The administration is therefore pushing Israel to agree to areas of deconfliction, which it says are distinct from the “safe zones” that Israel encouraged Palestinian civilians to flee to while it carried out its military operation in the north.
