According to a UN humanitarian report, Israel's latest evacuation order has left 80 per cent of the Gazan population displaced.
"Over 1 million people have been displaced once again, desperately seeking shelter and safety 1.9 million people are now displaced across Gaza ... I'm deeply concerned about reports of new evacuation orders issued in the area of Khan Younis," Sigrid Kaag told the UN Security Council. She said that not enough aid was reaching the war-torn strip and that the opening of new crossings, particularly to southern Gaza, was necessary to avert a humanitarian disaster.
The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres's spokesman said"yesterday's orders for the evacuations of 117 square kilometres in Khan Yunis and Rafah governorates apply to a about a third of the Gaza Strip, making it the largest such order since October."The war started after Hamas's Oct 7 attack on southern Israel resulted in the deaths of 1,195 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli figures.
