Israel Captures Morag Axis

April 15, 2025

The ongoing conflict in Gaza has intensified with Israel’s military announcing the capture of the Morag axis. This strategic corridor is crucial for controlling southern Gaza. The move links routes along the Egyptian border. The military’s actions have led to mass evacuations and increased tensions with Palestinian groups.

Strategic Importance of the Morag Corridor

The Morag corridor is a vital area that connects Rafah and Khan Yunis. Its capture allows Israel to enhance its security operations in Gaza. The corridor joins other key areas under Israeli control, including the Philadelphi and Netzarim routes. Together, these zones give Israel control of over 50% of Gaza’s territory.

Evacuation Orders and Humanitarian Concerns

Israel has issued wide-ranging evacuation orders for tens of thousands of Palestinians in Khan Yunis. This action follows rocket fire from the area, prompting military strikes. The United Nations has raised alarms about these orders, viewing them as potential forced transfers of civilians to more crowded areas.

Casualties and Humanitarian Crisis

The conflict has resulted in civilian casualties. Gaza’s Health Ministry reported over 50,900 deaths since the war began, with many victims being women and children. Aid organisations have brought into light severe shortages of essential supplies due to Israel’s blockade on aid entering Gaza.
