Thousands of Palestinians were seen fleeing their homes, carrying minimal belongings as they moved on foot toward al-Mawasi, a coastal area hosting makeshift tent camps. The evacuation follows heavy bombardments that have left the neighborhood in ruins, with reports of casualties and injuries mounting. The humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with the territory officially entering the first stage of famine due to prolonged border closures.

The evacuation order has further compounded the suffering of Gaza's population, many of whom have been displaced multiple times during the ongoing conflict.
