Gaza City residents forced to flee following new Israeli evacuation orders
The Israeli military dropped leaflets issuing new evacuation orders over Gaza City, instructing residents sheltering in the rubble to move south. The directive forced an estimated 10,000 civilians to flee their makeshift shelters amid intensifying Israeli bombardments across the territory. The UN has widely documented and condemned these rolling forced transfers.
