Israel issued an ultimatum. UN: Impossible without a humanitarian catastrophe

Israel has urged Palestinians to evacuate the northern Gaza Strip within 24 hours. The UN indicates that this is impossible without a humanitarian catastrophe.

The Israeli military command told the UN that “the entire population of Gaza north of the Wadi Gaza Stream must move to southern Gaza within the next 24 hours.”

Israel’s ultimatum

“The terrorist organization Hamas has started a war against Israel and Gaza City is an area where military operations are taking place. Evacuate for your own safety,” the Israeli side said in an appeal to residents of the Gaza Strip.

Military analysts agree that there will most likely be an Israeli land operation in the Gaza Strip.

The American channel CNN reported that Israel has already mobilized more than 300,000 reservists along the southern border with the Gaza Strip. The Israeli side has not yet officially confirmed whether it will enter the Gaza Strip.

VN: Impossible

UN Secretary-General Stephane Dujarric said it was “impossible” to carry out an evacuation without leading to “devastating humanitarian consequences”.

The point is that more than a million people would be evacuated. (About 2.5 million people live in the entire Zone).

“The same order applied to all UN personnel and persons protected in UN facilities, including schools, health centers and clinics,” the report said. The UN “strongly called for the withdrawal of such an order, if confirmed, to avoid a situation that could turn what is already a tragedy into a catastrophic situation.”

Retaliation after the Hamas attack

Massive military operations against Israel began on Saturday. It started with a rocket attack, after which Hamas militias invaded Israeli territory in many places and attacked more than twenty cities. For this purpose, use was made of, among other things: paragliders and underground tunnels. The victims were Israeli citizens and officials. According to estimates, the militants took about 100 hostages. Israeli forces recaptured the towns occupied by the militants and began offensive operations.

Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that the country was in a state of war, and the Foreign Minister said that Israel would completely blockade the Gaza Strip. The Zone itself is under fire from Israeli aircraft. The victims of air strikes are mainly civilians. There are videos on social media showing the extent of the destruction.

Hamas is a radical Islamic organization whose main goal is the liberation of Palestine from Israeli occupation. The armed branch of Hamas is the al-Qassam Brigades.
