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

    It’s insane how with all holocaust talk Israeli have no issues applying the same tactics. Cognative dissonance, religion and nationalism just triumphs over logic huh.

      Yup. Who gives a fuck about lives when one side’s imaginary friend says the other’s imaginary friend is wrong

      Literally people killing each other over fairy tales.

      Oh, and because Israel stole their land.

        Considering how much money both Israel and Arab worlds have you’d think the land wouldn’t be much of an issue, right? Instead of building the Line UAE could literally save every single Palestinian like that.

        The thing is they both want this conflict. Israel - some dirt country in the middle of nowhere - is making so much money through this war and Intel industry that they place right there with world economies. Arab world has an enemy that distracts people from literally being slaves to the most oppresive government and religion. Nasty people all around.

        Thinking about this region is just so depressing that I’d simply ignore all news if it was practically possible.

          Why should the Palestinians have to leave their own land? So what if the UAE has all of that money
