Another wave of Palestinians, forced from their homes in Gaza. This time, to a small slice of land in the south, designated by Israel as a 'safe zone'. But conditions in Al Mawasi are bleak. International aid organisations don't recognise the facility and aren't providing services there. And in the last two months Israeli forces have bombed areas where they ordered people to take shelter. Those in Al Mawasi say there is no guarantee they'll be spared Israeli bombings and air strikes. So, how can what Israel calls a 'safe zone', protect these civilians from suffering - and attack? And could it become, as one UNICEF official has described - another 'zone of death'.
