Israeli Evacuation Orders Push Gaza Civilians South, Risk Mass Displacement

Reuters reports the Israeli military urged Gaza City residents to evacuate south to a designated coastal "humanitarian zone" in Khan Younis amid heavy strikes and advancing ground operations. Officials say food, medical care, and shelter will be available, but aid groups warn of worsening humanitarian conditions and mass displacement. Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered the capture of Gaza City, calling it a Hamas stronghold, while international criticism mounts over civilian casualties. The campaign could displace hundreds of thousands of people already uprooted during nearly two years of war.
