Israel wants the Palestinian citizens present in the Gaza Strip to vacate that area and move to a safe area. So that Israeli soldiers can make final preparations for the ground war.

What did the United Nations say on the order to evacuate Gaza 

The United Nations has also appealed to the Israeli Army to withdraw the order of displacement of people from Gaza. The United Nations believes that this order of Israel will create a huge crisis.
