Amid escalating tensions in Gaza, the Israeli military has issued fresh evacuation orders for several areas in Gaza City, leading to tens of thousands of people being on the move once again. Over the past 10 days, evacuation instructions have been given to residents in Khan Younis, Shujaya, and various neighborhoods of Gaza City, resulting in an estimated 1.9 million internally displaced individuals in Gaza.
The mass displacement has been primarily driven by evacuation orders from the Israeli military, destruction of infrastructure, limited access to essential services, and ongoing hostilities, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
