Approximately 50,000 individuals have evacuated the southern Gazan city of Rafah within the last 48 hours following an evacuation directive issued by Israel's military. The senior staffer at the UN's agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) reported the mass exodus on Wednesday.
The displaced residents have dispersed to various locations, with some heading to Khan Younis, others seeking refuge in the expanded humanitarian area of Al-Mawasi, and some moving towards Deir al-Balah.
