Israel’s military has been massing 360,000 soldiers on the border as it gets ready to discharge a huge ground blitz. In a hint the expected invasion is imminent, the IDF warned: “This evacuation is for your own safety.” It added that Hamas militants are hiding inside tunnels underneath the city and inside buildings where citizens live. The IDF said: “In the following days, the IDF will continue to operate significantly in Gaza City and make extensive efforts to avoid harming civilians.” Sweeping evacuation orders for almost half of Gaza’s 2.3 million population were delivered shortly before midnight, UN officials said. All 1.1 million have been told to leave northern Gaza for the south within 24 hours. The Israeli military also sent an order directly Friday morning, warning the hundreds of thousands of civilians of Gaza City to flee deeper south into the Gaza Strip, a narrow coastal territory. It sent panic rippling through civilians and workers already struggling under Israeli airstrikes and a blockade. Inas Hamdan, an officer at the UN Palestinian refugee agency in Gaza City, said: “This is chaos, no one understands what to do.” Meanwhile, Nebal Farsakh, a spokesman for the Palestinian Red Crescent in Gaza City, said there was no way more than one million people could be safely moved that fast. She said: “Forget about food, forget about electricity, forget about fuel. “The only concern now is just if you’re going to make it, if you’re going to live. “What will happen to our patients? We have wounded, we have elderly, we have children who are in hospitals.”
