Evacuation orders issued for Deir al-Balah
In late May 2026, amid an intensification of strikes and operations in the central Gaza Strip, Israeli forces issued a new evacuation order for Deir al-Balah. The directive pushed an estimated 10,000 residents and previously displaced individuals to flee toward overcrowded coastal areas, severely exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
