Israeli Gaza City Offensive Triggers Mass Exodus as UN Counts One Million Displaced

UNICEF says the southern refuge designated by Israel is overcrowded, unprepared, unsafe.

Overview

  • Israel’s military expanded ground operations in Gaza City and ordered residents to leave, prompting large southbound movements.
  • The United Nations estimates roughly one million people have fled Gaza City over the past month in new waves of displacement.
  • Israeli military officials say as many as 450,000 civilians have departed the city under evacuation directives.
  • Thousands traveled on the coastal road toward areas labeled as safe, with many erecting tents in Al-Mawasi near Khan Younis.
  • The Gaza health ministry reported at least 79 Palestinians killed across Gaza in the past 24 hours, mostly in Gaza City, as shortages deepen.
