The United Nations Human Rights Office has issued a warning regarding the situation in northern Gaza, where Israel has been conducting an intense military offensive. The UN has raised concerns about the possibility of a large-scale forced transfer of the civilian population, which it deems as a potential war crime.
According to reports, the Israeli military has ordered all civilians north of Gaza City to evacuate and has blocked food supplies from entering the northern region since the beginning of the month. The UN Human Rights Office has stated that Israel's actions are effectively sealing off North Gaza, with reports of civilians being fired upon while attempting to flee.
