Israeli evacuation orders now cover 14% of Gaza: UN

Israel's evacuation orders now cover an estimated 14% of the Gaza Strip, the UN said Monday, amid a new wave of devastating airstrikes that have killed hundreds in recent days.

"Yesterday, Israeli authorities also issued a new evacuation order in Rafah, covering about 2% of the strip and affecting five neighborhoods," Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters.

"With this latest directive, the overall area designed for evacuation in the past week covers an estimated 14% of the Gaza Strip, along with vast 'no go' zones along the borders and Netzarim corridor," he added.
