Israel Hamas War: Israel orders 1.1 million Gazans to evacuate from northern Gaza

Israel has ordered the evacuation of 1.1 million people from northern Gaza, according to the United Nations. This is over half of the population of the Gaza Strip. The evacuation order comes as Israeli forces continue to bombard the region, and there are fears that a ground invasion is imminent. The United Nations has called on Israel to rescind the evacuation order, warning that it would be a "humanitarian catastrophe." However, Israel has defended the order, saying that it is necessary to protect civilians from Hamas militants.
