Mass Displacement in North Gaza Following New IDF Orders
On April 2, 2026, Israeli occupation forces issued urgent displacement orders for Jabalia al-Balad, Al-Atatra, and neighborhoods in Gaza City including Al-Shuja'iya and Al-Zaytoun. According to WAFA and local monitors, these orders forced approximately 30,000 Palestinians to abandon shelters and residential ruins amid ongoing artillery strikes. The displacement occurred while all crossings remained closed, severely limiting access to water and medical supplies in the northern governorates.
