The forced displacement of Palestinians from parts of Khan Younis and Rafah is the largest in the Gaza Strip since 1.1 million people were forced to leave the north of the enclave in October, the UN said on Tuesday.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said that the Israeli order on Monday of "such a massive scale will only heighten the suffering of civilians and drive humanitarian needs even higher”.
“People are left with the impossible choice of having to relocate, some most likely for the second or third time, to areas that have barely any spaces or services, or staying in areas where they know heavy fighting will take place,” he said.
