The Israeli military has told civilians in northern Gaza to evacuate immediately, vowing to continue military operations following Hamas attacks on Israeli civilians.

Over a million people live in the evacuation zone, including older people, children, and people with disabilities. 

The United Nations called for Israel to rescind the order, warning of devastating humanitarian consequences.

 The evacuation order does not alter Israel’s obligation to minimize harm to civilians, including those who cannot or do not leave.
