north of Wadi Gaza should relocate to southern Gaza within 24 hours, The Times

The UN spokesperson’s statement indicated that the IDF
could be readying to launch a ground invasion six days after Hamas’s attack on
Saturday, according to the report.
In a statement, the UN spokesperson said that roughly
1.1 million Palestinians live north of Wadi Gaza. The warning also comes for
the UN staff and those sheltered in UN facilities in those areas.
“The United Nations considers it impossible for such a
movement to take place without devastating humanitarian consequences,” the
spokesperson said, according to The Times of Israel report.
“The United Nations strongly appeals for any such
order, if confirmed, to be rescinded avoiding what could transform what is
already a tragedy into a calamitous situation,” the spokesperson added.
According to the UN spokesperson, the liaison officers
in the IDF notified the team leaders of the UN Office of the Coordination of
Humanitarian Affairs and the UN’s Department of Safety and Security in Gaza,
The Times of Israel reported.
It is pertinent to note here that Israel has ordered a
“complete siege” on Gaza, which includes shutting off water, electricity and
gas supply and closing its own border crossings into the enclave.
