Gaza War | BBC: Israel has again ordered tens of thousands of Palestinians to leave Rafah

Israel has again ordered tens of thousands of Palestinians to leave Rafah, says the BBC.

Israel conveyed the evacuation order in leaflets it dropped in the eastern parts of the city of Rafah and in social media messages.

As in Saturday’s order, residents were urged to move to the so-called humanitarian area of ​​al-Mawas, which, according to the UN and organizations operating in the area, is already overpopulated.

The Israeli military said on Saturday that around 300,000 people have already left eastern Rafah after Israel ordered more areas to be evacuated. The numbers could not be confirmed.

Rafah has previously been estimated to hold around 1.4 million people, many of whom had already fled there from Israeli attacks and fighting from other parts of the Gaza Strip.

The UN has warned Israel not to expand its attack on Rafah. Israel itself has described it as a “limited” operation.

Secretary General of the UN Antonio Guterres on Sunday demanded an immediate ceasefire for the Gaza Strip, the release of hostages and humanitarian aid for the Gaza Strip.

“The war in Gaza is causing terrible human suffering, destroying lives, tearing families apart and leaving huge numbers of people homeless, hungry and traumatized,” Guterres said in a video shown at an international gathering of aid donors in Kuwait.

According to AFP, Israel has also continued its attacks elsewhere in the Gaza Strip on Sunday.

According to the Gazan authorities operating under the extremist organization Hamas, two doctors were killed in Israeli strikes in Deir al-Balah on Sunday.

According to AFP correspondents, fierce fighting took place near Gaza City, where Israel shelled the area from helicopters.

in Israel On Saturday, the police arrested 30 protesters, the prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in anti-government demonstrations in Tel Aviv, reports an Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

Demonstrators are demanding early elections late Saturday and a cease-fire agreement to free the hostages held by Hamas. Four of those arrested are family members of the hostages.

In the clashes with the police, one of the demonstrators was injured so seriously that he needed treatment. Two police officers were also injured.

According to the police, some of those arrested were released on Sunday morning.

Massive demonstrations have been organized in Israel recently. In them, the government has been demanded to invest more in the truce negotiations and Netanyahu’s resignation.

The extremist organization took about 250 hostages in its attack last October, of which about 130 are still in Hamas’ possession, reports AFP. According to Israel, more than 30 of them are believed to have died. According to Israel, 1,170 people died in the Hamas attack.

According to the Ministry of Health under Hamas, almost 35,000 people have died in Israel’s military operations in Gaza.

of the United States president Joe Biden said at a fundraiser on Saturday that a truce in Gaza could start as early as the next day if the extremist organization Hamas released the hostages it took in the October attack.

Biden said Israel says it’s up to Hamas to start a truce.

“The truce would start tomorrow if Hamas released the hostages,” Biden commented at an event held near Seattle on Saturday.

“Israel said it (the truce) is up to Hamas, if they want to do it, this could end tomorrow,” Biden told about 100 attendees, according to AFP.

The United States warned earlier this week that it may stop supplying Israel with artillery shells and certain weapons if the country attacks Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. It was the president’s most direct warning to Israel regarding its actions in Gaza so far.

Britain’s foreign minister David Cameron said on Sunday that Israel should not attack Rafah without a clear plan to protect lives and secure Gazans’ access to food and medicine.

“We have not seen such a plan — so we do not support an attack carried out in that way,” Cameron told Sky News.

Cameron said he is not happy with how poorly Israel has allowed humanitarian aid into Gaza. According to the Foreign Minister, there have been signs of improvement in the matter, but not enough.
