Israel moves to empty Gaza City of its roughly 1 million residents

srael has launched one of the largest evacuations in modern history, ordering the 1 million residents of Gaza City to leave their homes immediately. The city has been declared a combat zone, with families told to move south through “humanitarian corridors.”

Scenes of exodus show mothers clutching children, elderly people walking for miles, and families abandoning everything they own. Israel says the move is necessary to target Hamas, but humanitarian groups warn of a looming catastrophe as shelters overflow and supplies run out.
