The Commissioner-General of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, has stated that over 75,000 Palestinians have been displaced from southern Gaza as a result of an evacuation order issued by Israeli authorities. The Israeli evacuation order, which has been described as “murderous”, has prompted many Gazan families to migrate from the eastern parts of Gaza city to the western areas.

Lazzarini drew attention to the ongoing displacement of the Palestinian people and their history of enduring wars and conflicts for decades. He also shared a photo on social media depicting Palestinians relocating from the east to the west in Khan Younis. The recent evacuation order has resulted in a significant number of people being compelled to leave their homes in southern Gaza.
