Israel has ordered the complete evacuation of Gaza City, home to approximately one million Palestinians, before a planned military takeover. The Israeli military spokesperson announced the evacuation order, urging residents to move to a designated humanitarian zone. Leaflets with evacuation instructions were also distributed. Despite warnings from Prime Minister Netanyahu, only a small percentage of residents have evacuated, and the provision of adequate humanitarian aid remains a concern. Israel aims to expand aid distribution sites but faces resistance from some residents unwilling to leave their homes.
