Civil Defense: Central Gaza evacuation order affects 450,000 people

Gaza: Gaza’s Civil Defense Organization has appealed to the United Nations to pressure Israel to stop repeatedly displacing people from the territory. The appeal comes at a time when Israel has issued several new evacuation orders covering large parts of northern and central Gaza in a matter of days, further shrinking the territory’s “humanitarian zone”. In a statement, the Civil Defense Organization said that the latest evacuation orders in central Gaza have affected more than 450,000 people, “reopening their wounds”. “We appeal to the United Nations and the International Court of Justice to intervene to stop this policy,” the statement said, claiming that it “violates humanitarian law”.
