Some 700,000 Palestinians have so far evacuated Gaza City to the Strip’s south, according to fresh IDF estimates.

Around one million Palestinians were estimated to be residing in Gaza City before the IDF launched a major offensive against Hamas in the area. Civilians were ordered to evacuate to an Israeli-designated humanitarian zone in southern Gaza.

The rate of Palestinians leaving the area has risen in recent days, as the IDF advances deeper into Gaza City.
