Israel orders immediate evacuation of Gaza’s largest city

The Israeli military issued a complete evacuation order for Gaza City, demanding residents to flee amid heavy combat. The leaflets, addressed to everyone in Gaza City, outlined escape routes and warned of the dangerous combat zone. Up to 350,000 people were staying in the city, facing displacement and suffering.

Despite ongoing talks for a truce, the fighting intensified as Israel aimed to push back Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants. The UN expressed concern for Palestinian families and called for civilian protection.

The situation escalated with deadly strikes on schools used as shelters and continued battles in Gaza’s southern regions. The destruction and displacement left many civilians in despair, questioning their future amid relentless conflict.

‘Unacceptable’

France and Germany condemned the attacks on civilian shelters, urging investigations. Meanwhile, truce negotiations and diplomatic efforts sought to ease tensions and reach a ceasefire agreement.

‘Stop this war’

The war, triggered by past incidents, resulted in significant casualties on both sides. As Israel ramped up its military operations, the region braced for further violence and potential regional conflicts.
