GENEVA
— In a recent report by the
Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, the organization
reveals that the "
safe corridor" announced by Israeli occupation
forces in Gaza has turned out to be a perilous environment, resulting in
fatalities, arrests, and the mistreatment of displaced individuals and
families.

The
rights group alleges that the Israeli army's assertion of providing a secure
passage for the displaced is, in reality, a military strategy targeting
Palestinian civilians.
Euro-Med
reports that the Israeli army has been compelling residents of Gaza City and
the northern areas of the Gaza Strip to relocate to the southern part of the
Strip. The designated "corridor" along Salah al-Din Road, Gaza City's
main thoroughfare, is open daily between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Displaced
individuals who traversed the alleged corridor in the past three days provided
distressing testimonies to the Euro-Med Monitor team.
Gaza
City resident Iyad Zakaria recounted a seven-kilometer journey with his family,
where they were compelled to raise their arms and carry white flags while
walking. Zakaria described witnessing bodies in pieces, burned, scattered on
the ground, and inside civilian cars hit by Israeli missiles.
Another
survivor, Saada Awad, claimed that Israeli soldiers forced her family of 11 to abandon
their belongings and traverse long distances amid constant shellfire. She
reported witnessing a family of five being struck by an artillery shell,
heightening the terror of displacement.
Euro-Med
Monitor emphasized that video documentation reveals the complete destruction of
the road used for displacement operations, creating an exceptionally perilous
situation, particularly for vulnerable groups such as women, children, and the
elderly.
An
elderly man, Abu Khalil, referred to Salah al-Din Street as a "death
zone" rather than a safe passage. He accused Israeli forces of shooting
his 16-year-old grandson despite the presence of a white flag.
On
November 10, a massacre occurred on Salah al-Din Street, described by Abu
Khalil as a "death zone" where convoys of displaced individuals were targeted.
The
rights group disclosed that Israel ordered over one million people, roughly
half of Gaza's population, to evacuate Gaza City and the northern areas of the
Strip. Euro-Med Monitor contends that this evacuation order constitutes forced
displacement, a violation of international humanitarian law, and potentially a
war crime.
