The UN has been informed by the Israeli military of the order to "relocate" some 1.1 million residents from the north of the Gaza Strip to the south within 24 hours, the spokesman for the organization's secretary-general, Stéphane Dujarric, told AFP, demanding that this order be cancelled.
Last night "UN officials in Gaza" were informed by their Israeli military liaison officers that the entire population north of Wadi Gaza would be relocated south within 24 hours" – According to Dujarric, an evacuation of this magnitude is "impossible without causing devastating humanitarian consequences".
