Gaza: The Israeli army on Saturday ordered the forcible evacuation of tens of thousands of civilians in northern Gaza. Local sources indicated that the evacuation order targeted the Abdul Rahman neighborhood in northwest Gaza City and the Al-Nahda neighborhood in the Jabalia refugee camp. These areas are inhabited by previously displaced civilians who had initially fled northern Gaza to the south at the onset of the ongoing conflict, before being temporarily allowed to return.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that as of May 28, 81% of Gaza's territory had been declared Israeli military zones or placed under evacuation orders. OCHA further noted that since the resumption of the Israeli aggression on March 18, the army has issued 31 evacuation orders. These orders encompass approximately 229.4 square kilometers of Gaza and remain in effect.
A recent report by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) highlighted that at least 1.9 million people, accounting for nearly 90% of Gaza's population, have been displaced during the ongoing aggression. Many of these individuals have experienced repeated displacements, with some forced to flee as many as ten times or more.
