Around 150,000 Palestinians are estimated by the military to have evacuated from Gaza City, including tens of thousands in the past day, according to defense officials.
Yesterday, for the first time, the IDF ordered all of Gaza City to evacuate immediately, ahead of an upcoming offensive against Hamas there.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said 100,000 people had left Gaza City, out of around one million estimated to be residing in the city.
