Israel’s military has informed the United Nations that the entire population of northern Gaza should relocate to the southern half of the territory within 24 hours, the U.N. spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, said late on Thursday night, adding that such a movement — involving over one million people — would lead to “devastating humanitarian consequences.”

“The same order applied to all U.N. staff and those sheltered in U.N. facilities — including schools, health centers and clinics,” Mr. Dujarric said.

The U.N. was told that the marker dividing the north from south was Wadi Gaza, the statement said.

The U.N. Security Council is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting on Friday afternoon in a closed consultation format

    This is bone chilling. I haven’t read a headline in a while that’s struck the fear of God into me like this. They need to be talked out of it. I worry they’re about to do something even worse than the Hamas attack, and that’s really saying something.

      Bro they’ve already done that with their airstrikes actively engineered to increase, rather than decrease, civilian casualties (I can provide examples if you’re curious). Now they’re going full Holocaust.
