UN: Families in Gaza are obliged to make impossible choices with every evacuation directive

NEW YORK, (PIC)

United Nations spokesman Stephane Dujarric said that with each new evacuation directive, families in Gaza are being forced to make “impossible choices”.

Dujarric indicated in a press conference on Monday that “a team from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) took measures to support the displaced from northern Gaza to the south.”

He condemned the targeting of civilians, noting that “the attacks carried out in recent days have shown once again that nowhere is safe in Gaza.”

Amnesty International considered that “the repeated Israeli evacuation orders in Gaza amount to illegal displacement, which is a war crime.”

It added that “Palestinian civilians are facing multiple waves of displacement” due to the Israeli occupation’s aggression against the Gaza Strip that has been ongoing for more than nine months as well as frequent evacuation directives.

Since October 7, the Israeli occupation army has been continuing its aggression against the Gaza Strip, with US and European support, leading to the martyrdom of 38,664 people and the injury of 89,97 others, and the displacement of about 1.9 million people, according to UN data.
