Welcome to The Independent's US evening newsletter
An Israeli order giving more than one million Palestinians just 24 hours to evacuate to south Gaza will push people "into the abyss," the United Nations has warned. UN officials warn the movement of an estimated 1.1 million people from north Gaza to the south was "impossible" and would spark a "bone-chilling" humanitarian crisis. They have "strongly" appealed to Israel to rescind the order. Gaza's Health Ministry has told The Independent it has no means of evacuating the wounded to the south, as all hospitals across the strip are full, and the most critical cases will die en route. The unprecedented decision applies to almost half the population of the tiny besieged strip and is feared to be a precursor to a ground invasion against the militant Hamas group that rules Gaza, which will bring a surge in casualties. | |
