Palestiniens, Aug 23 (V7N) - The ongoing conflict in Gaza has led to a dire situation for civilians, as repeated Israeli military evacuation orders have left many residents with no safe refuge. Over the past ten months of war, the Israeli army has issued numerous evacuation orders, causing widespread displacement and despair among the population.

In just the first three weeks of August, the army sent out 11 evacuation orders, affecting around 250,000 Gazans, most of whom had already been displaced multiple times. These orders, delivered via flyers, text messages, and social media, urge residents to evacuate their shelters due to impending military operations. However, the constant movement and lack of safe zones have made many civilians lose faith in these orders, as they struggle to find space or safety in the shrinking "humanitarian" zones.

One such resident, Haitham Abdelaal, expressed the frustration shared by many: "Every time we arrive somewhere, we get a new evacuation order two days later. This is no way to live." Similarly, Amneh Abu Daqqa, a displaced mother of five, questioned the point of moving again, given the limited options for safety. "There is nowhere safe, there are airstrikes everywhere," she said.

The repeated evacuation orders have also severely impacted the ability of United Nations agencies to distribute relief in the blockaded territory. The orders have disrupted access to makeshift sites, offices, warehouses, and even vital infrastructure like water wells, which serve tens of thousands of people. Additionally, road closures, such as those affecting the main Salah al-Din highway, have complicated transport and made aid distribution nearly impossible.

The Israeli army initially presented a plan for the displaced, designating Al-Mawasi in the south as a "humanitarian zone" and dividing Gaza into numbered blocks to indicate areas targeted for military operations. However, the proliferation of blocks has led to confusion and sometimes contradictory orders. As a result, the Al-Mawasi zone, which was once a sparsely populated area, now houses between 30,000 and 34,000 people per square kilometer, a dramatic increase from its pre-war density of 1,200 inhabitants per square kilometer.

The situation has turned Al-Mawasi into a vast tent city, with families struggling to find space to pitch tents as new evacuation orders force more people into the area. The escalating conflict and ongoing displacement have left many Gazans in an increasingly desperate situation, with no clear path to safety.
