UNRWA warns of Israeli plan to create 'mass internment camps' in southern Gaza
Ammon News - Adnan Abu Hasna, media advisor to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza, has raised alarm over Israel's reported plans to establish what it calls a "humanitarian city" in southern Gaza, warning that the initiative is essentially a blueprint for mass internment camps. In a press statement, Abu Hasna said Israel has long been laying the groundwork for such a plan through the establishment of aid distribution points in southern Gaza. 'Now, they are openly declaring their intent to forcibly displace the population of Gaza into collective detention camps in Rafah, as a prelude to their expulsion from Palestinian land,' he stated. He warned that this development signals Israel's continued commitment to the forced transfer of Gaza's population, expressing deep concern over the extreme pressure being applied to Palestinians. 'The total collapse of the healthcare system, absence of aid, and depletion of fuel are all being weaponized to coerce the population into voluntary displacement,' Abu Hasna said. He further cautioned that the so-called humanitarian zone is incapable of hosting Gaza's 2 million residents within just 60 square kilometers of devastated land, describing the area as uninhabitable and void of any semblance of life or future. Abu Hasna urged the international community to intervene immediately to halt what he described as a dangerous and deliberate attempt to forcibly displace Palestinians under the guise of humanitarian relief.

Japan says China's military activities could 'seriously impact' its security
Japan said Tuesday that China's intensifying military activities could "seriously impact" its security, citing the first confirmed incursion by a Chinese military aircraft into its airspace in an annual threat assessment. The defence ministry said in its white paper that China was ramping up its activities in the entire region surrounding Japan. A Chinese military aircraft entered Japan's airspace in August last year, it said. Then in September, a Chinese aircraft carrier and two other naval ships sailed between two Japanese islands near Taiwan. Beijing's military "created a situation that could seriously impact Japan's security", the paper said. It repeated its comment from last year's paper that China's military ambitions pose "an unprecedented and (the) greatest strategic challenge" to Japan and the world. Beijing responded by saying the paper "hypes up the so-called China threat". "China expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this and has lodged solemn representations with Japan," China's foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian said. Tokyo said last week that Chinese fighter jets flew within 30 metres (100 feet) of a Japanese military patrol aircraft over the East China Sea. Last year, Chinese vessels sailed near the Japanese-administered Senkaku islands -- known as the Diaoyu in China -- a record 355 times, according to Tokyo. And last month Japan said that two Chinese aircraft carriers sailed in the Pacific simultaneously for the first time, including in Japan's economic waters. China called it "routine training". Beijing has also conducted joint drills with Russia which are "clearly intended as a demonstration of force against Japan", the paper said. It repeated that North Korea's activities pose a "more grave and imminent threat to Japan's national security than ever before". The white paper was approved by the cabinet of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on Tuesday. Japan boosts defence spending Japan is in a multi-year process of increasing its defence spending. It is bolstering its military ties with Washington -- and other regional US allies -- to make US and Japanese forces nimbler in response to threats such as a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. The Pentagon is pressing Japan and Australia to make clear what role they would play if the United States and China went to war over Taiwan, the Financial Times reported on Saturday. Elbridge Colby, US under-secretary of defence for policy, has been pushing the issue in meetings with Japanese and Australian defence officials in recent months, the FT said. Colby said that President Donald Trump's "common sense agenda" included "urging allies to step up their defense spending and other efforts related to our collective defense". "Of course, some among our allies might not welcome frank conversations," Colby wrote on X.

UNRWA: The So-Called "Humanitarian City" in Southern Gaza Would Be a Mass Detention Camp for Palestinians
UNRWA: The So-Called "Humanitarian City" in Southern Gaza Would Be a Mass Detention Camp for Palestinians The media advisor for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza, Adnan Abu Hasna, has warned against Israeli plans to establish what is being referred to as a "humanitarian city" in southern Gaza, stating that such a project would effectively serve as mass detention camps for Palestinians. اضافة اعلان According to Palestinian media outlets, Abu Hasna said in a press statement: 'The occupation has been working toward this goal since setting up aid distribution points in southern Gaza. This time, however, it has openly announced its intent to forcibly transfer Gaza's population into mass detention camps in Rafah as a precursor to expelling Palestinians from their land.' He stressed that this plan underscores Israel's continued push to forcibly displace Gaza's residents, expressing deep concern over the intense pressure being exerted on the Palestinian population amid a collapse of the healthcare system, fuel shortages, and a severe lack of humanitarian aid, which he says is part of a deliberate effort to drive Palestinians into leaving voluntarily. Abu Hasna also warned of the catastrophic consequences of implementing such a plan, which would force Palestinians into a completely destroyed area that cannot accommodate 2 million people within just 60 square kilometers—an area that offers no livable conditions or future prospects. Earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated that he had instructed the military to prepare a plan to establish what he called a "humanitarian city" consisting of tent camps on the ruins of Rafah, aimed at relocating 600,000 Palestinians in a first phase, after subjecting them to strict security screenings. He added that those moved would not be allowed to leave afterward. — (Petra)
