GAZA, June 7, 2025 (WAFA) – The Israeli army Saturday ordered the forcible evacuation of tens of thousands of civilians in northern Gaza.
Local sources said the evacuation order targeted the Abdul Rahman neighborhood in northwest Gaza City and the Al-Nahda neighborhood in Jabalia refugee camp.
Residents of these areas are previously displaced civilians who had been forced to flee northern Gaza to the south at the start of the genocidal war, before being temporarily allowed to return.
According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), as of May 28, 81% of Gaza’s territory had been declared Israeli military zones or placed under evacuation orders.
OCHA added that since the resumption of the Israeli aggression on March 18, the army has issued 31 evacuation orders, covering about 229.4 square kilometers of Gaza, orders that remain in effect.
A recent report by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) stated that at least 1.9 million people, or nearly 90% of Gaza’s population, have been displaced during the ongoing aggression, many of them repeatedly, with some forced to flee ten times or more.
