Israeli forces order Gaza City residents to evacuate yet again

Palestinians in Gaza City are on the move again, after Israeli forces ordered them to leave as part of evacuation orders. For most of them, this is not the first time they have been told to leave or evacuate their homes. The Israeli army demanded that the Palestinian residents of the eastern neighbourhoods of Gaza City must immediately evacuate and head to the western areas of the city, considering that they are safe, Israeli army spokesman Avichai Adraee had claimed. However, Palestinian civilians were caught off guard when the Israeli army suddenly invaded the western areas of the city, specifically in the Tel al-Hawa neighbourhood and the southern outskirts of the al-Rimal neighbourhood. The unexpected assault caused a large displacement of Palestinians (native residents and those previously displaced) to the al-Nasr neighbourhood, north of Gaza City. Due to the lack of transportation in the city, people were forced to walk for dozens of kilometres in the heat. Furthermore, the Israeli army continued to launch air and artillery strikes on various areas of Gaza City around those trying to escape the onslaught.
