IOF Issues Evacuation Orders to Palestinians Across Northern Gaza Strip

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) issued evacuation orders today to Palestinians in various areas across the northern Gaza Strip. Local sources told Wafa news agency that the occupation issued orders to evacuate the area of Beit Hanoun, and the neighborhoods of Al-Manshiye, Sheikh Zayed and Al-Naziheen, north of the Gaza Strip. The aforementioned area has been subjected to a forced displacement movement since morning today, after the occupation army demanded its evacuation. United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said in a report last week that forced evacuation orders issued by the Israeli occupation have become a daily occurrence for citizens in the Gaza Strip, who are forced to leave in order to save their own lives. Palestinian families in Gaza are forced to move again and again, while knowing that safety is nowhere to be found in the Gaza Strip, UNRWA added, indicating that 83 percent of the Gaza Strip has been placed under evacuation orders or classif ied by the occupation army as "prohibited areas." Latest statistics suggest that the number of displaced people in the Gaza Strip has reached about two million, including 1.7 million living in Al-Mawasi area, west of the southern Gaza Strip in appalling living conditions, according to a previous statement by the international humanitarian aid organization (Oxfam). The Israeli occupation continues its genocide against the Gaza Strip through airstrikes and bombardment shot from all sides (air, land and sea) since October 2023, murdering more than 39,653 Palestinian civilians and injuring more than 91,535 others, while tens of thousands of other victims remain under the rubble, as the IOF has been preventing ambulance and civil defense crews from reaching them.
