Israeli security officials tell Channel 12 that the evacuation of Gaza City ahead of the planned IDF offensive is going much slower than anticipated.
The official says that Israel estimates that only some 10,000 people have evacuated to the south in the three weeks since Israel announced it would empty the city of its civilian population ahead of a planned move by the IDF to capture Gaza City.
The official says that there are some 1 million people still in the area.
