Israel issues new forced evacuation orders in northern Gaza

The Israeli army has issued a fresh evacuation forced order, demanding civilians in 16 neighbourhoods across northern Gaza leave their homes immediately.

A military spokesperson described it as an “urgent warning to everyone still present in Gaza City and Jabalia”, instructing them to head south towards al-Mawasi.

Israel designates al-Mawasi as a so-called “safe zone”, but the area has been repeatedly bombed despite being promoted as a refuge for displaced Palestinians.
