Gavin Kelleher, access manager in Gaza for the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), said there were “almost daily” attacks inside the zone, involving Israeli ships and quadcopters or small drones.
He added that “heavy fire is recurring in this area despite (Israel’s) unilateral ‘humanitarian’ determination.”
“The Israeli military seems to want to maintain the illusion of a humanitarian zone that remains a certain size, but that zone can be subject to ‘evacuation orders’ at any time and be targeted,” Mr Kelleher said.
One resident who lives in the zone, Khaled Abdel Rahman, told the BBC that residents were subjected to daily bombardment, which often resulted in injuries and casualties.
“We have been displaced to Khan Younis because it is designated as a safe zone, but in fact we find nothing but insecurity here,” Mr Rahman said. “We are denied a real sense of security, and fear dominates our lives.”
