Israel Hamas War: Amidst the Israel-Hamas war, the Israeli Defense Force advised people living in North Gaza to vacate the area within 24 hours and move towards the south. According to the United Nations, this decision of Israel will affect 11 lakh people of Northern Gaza, which is half the population of the entire Gaza Strip.
According to news agency AFP, as of Friday afternoon (October 13), there is no news of such a large-scale exodus in northern Gaza. AFP spoke to a civilian named Mohammed who lives in Gaza. Mohammed said, ‘It is better to die than to go somewhere else.’ He said, ‘I was born here and will die here. Leaving Gaza is a shame for me.
America’s stance on evacuation of people in Gaza?
White House national security spokesman John Kirby said the evacuation of such a large number of people was a complex order, but the US would not second guess its ally’s judgment in asking civilians to move out of the way. UN aid chief Martin Griffiths wrote on Twitter: “Civilians are being cornered in Gaza. How can 1.1 million people be moved in less than 24 hours?”
The noose around the civilian population in Gaza is tightening.
How are 1.1 million people supposed to move across a densely populated warzone in less than 24 hours?
I shudder to think what the humanitarian consequences of the evacuation order would be.

What is Israel’s ‘order’?
The Israeli army has accused Hamas of hiding in civilian buildings. “Citizens of Gaza City, for the safety of yourselves and your families, evacuate the northern area and distance yourself from Hamas terrorists who are using you as shields,” the army said.
