Meanwhile, hundreds remain stranded in eastern Khan Younis as fighting continues. – Once again, we emphasize that all parties to the conflict must respect their obligations under international humanitarian law, including by ensuring that civilians and civilian objects are constantly spared, says Haq. Which adds that that includes allowing civilians to travel to safer areas and allowing them to return as soon as circumstances permit. – People must be able to receive humanitarian aid, whether they move or stay.
