Called the “basket of foods” by local Palestinians (Reuters, sic), the stretch of coastline called Al Mawasi has operated as a refugee camp in the wake of the 7 October attack on Israel and unfolding Gaza war.
[* Yasser Abdulal spelt the camp’s name as Al-Mawsi. Google searches returned articles about the Al-Mawasi area. It is likely the same camp.]
“Al-Mawasi has been turned into the main displacement and refuge area for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, who have been ordered by the Israeli army to leave their homes,” wrote Reuters’ Nidal Mughrabi.
Israel has been accused of repeatedly attacking Al-Mawasi, says The Guardians’ Peter Beaumont.
