IDF Evacuates 100,000 in Rafah, Gaza for Operation Against Hamas
May 6, 2024, 07:28 AM
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have initiated a large-scale evacuation of civilians from the eastern neighborhoods of Rafah, Gaza, in anticipation of a military operation aimed at targeting Hamas in what is described as their last stand. The evacuation affects approximately 100,000 residents, who are being moved to an expanded humanitarian zone that includes field hospitals and additional supplies. This action follows intensified bombings in the area and comes amid reports of Hamas's refusal to release 133 Israeli hostages, which has hindered ceasefire efforts. The IDF has employed various methods including flyers, SMS messages, and broadcasts to ensure residents are informed of the evacuation. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has warned that an Israeli offensive in Rafah could lead to more civilian suffering and deaths, impacting up to 1.4 million people.
