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

      Right. Killing thousands of civilians just to resolve a conflict that was escalated for some reason from both sides.

      There’s only one noble side to be on in this, and that’s the side of civilians and humanitarians.

      If you’re ever on the side of someone who is killing civilians, your brain made a left turn somewhere and your side is probably just as valid as the extremists on the other side.

      Think about it. The only thing separating you from being the same monster you accuse those other ppl to be is being born on a different clump of earth.

      Don’t forget there’s a lot of civilians in that 1million+ people.

      And given that the average age in Gaza is 18 with 65% being under 24, that’s a lot of children as well.

      Genocide is bad.

        Sure I feel sorry for the civilians but I am not going to support terrorists and none of this would’ve happened if it weren’t for Hamas

            It sure is justified “in any way”. Not being justified at all would’ve looked like this:

            • Palestinians do nothing
            • Israel attacks

            We all know this is not how it went down.

              As far as I’m concerned the vast majority of the population (considering that over half is quite literally 18 years old and younger) did not do anything. Palestine =/ Hamas.

            Is giving civilians a warning to move south somehow not justified? Would you rather have them massacred with no warning?

              Well yea I’m glad there was at least some sort of warning, but how do you move over 1million people in 24 hours and where? But how does telling civilians to basically leave their homes to be destroyed justified? First they cut off necessities of life now they’re telling them to get lost.
