Israel’s military has informed the United Nations that the entire population of northern Gaza should relocate to the southern half of the territory within 24 hours, the U.N. spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, said late on Thursday night, adding that such a movement — involving over one million people — would lead to “devastating humanitarian consequences.”

“The same order applied to all U.N. staff and those sheltered in U.N. facilities — including schools, health centers and clinics,” Mr. Dujarric said.

The U.N. was told that the marker dividing the north from south was Wadi Gaza, the statement said.

The U.N. Security Council is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting on Friday afternoon in a closed consultation format

    And who’s fault is that? Hamas gave Israel the perfect excuse to do so and with good enough PR.

      A tiny group within a population of over 2 million.

      Honestly what the fuck are comments like this supposed to mean? You think they deserve to be slaughtered, down to the last child, because of what a small extremist group form the same region did? You know half the people in Gaza are under 18?

      Do you think they all voted for this? Hamas took control after netanyahu created and funded them to destabilize the Gaza strip, this is a known fact that they’ve basically admitted. He made sure they were the only governing body that could e, ist so they could excuse anything they wanted to do to the gazans they keep in an open-air prison.

      I hope the FBI or whatever the equivalent in your country is keeps pro-genocide people like you on a watch list.

            No, I’m just saying a two state solution is clearly no longer posible and Israel warned them to leave.

              No, you said, “59% of the “innocent” civilians supports Hamas.”

              The scare quotes around the word innocent imply you think they’re not innocent.
