Israel called on Saturday for Palestinians in more areas of Gaza’s southern city of Rafah to evacuate and head to what it calls an expanded humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi, in a further indication that the military is pressing ahead with its plans for a ground attack on Rafah.

In a post on social media site X, a military spokesperson also called on residents and displaced people in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza, and 11 other neighbourhoods in the enclave to go immediately to the shelters west of Gaza City.

According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, 24 Palestinians were killed overnight after Israeli jets targeted several areas in central Gaza.

Israel’s military said that so far, about 300,000 Gazans have moved towards Al-Mawasi.

      Al-Mawasi was already attacked before. Also it has an official population of about 1,500 people. So that makes the population increase by factor 200, Obviously this is a complete disaster because there is no way that any makeshift infrastructure can take such an increase in population.

      For reference imagine that a quarter of the world population would move to NYC tomorrow. That is the factor we are talking about here.
