Order to be restored in areas vacated by Israeli forces, says interior ministry

The interior ministry in Gaza on Friday said it will begin restoring order in the areas from which Israeli forces have withdrawn, urging citizens to be careful. 

In a statement, the ministry said that Israeli forces continue to block the road between the north and south of the Gaza Strip.

"We call on citizens to be careful before the ceasefire comes into effect, to ensure their safety," the statement said.
