Israel’s military has informed the United Nations that the entire population of northern Gaza should relocate to the southern half of the territory within 24 hours, the U.N. spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, said late on Thursday night, adding that such a movement — involving over one million people — would lead to “devastating humanitarian consequences.”

“The same order applied to all U.N. staff and those sheltered in U.N. facilities — including schools, health centers and clinics,” Mr. Dujarric said.

The U.N. was told that the marker dividing the north from south was Wadi Gaza, the statement said.

The U.N. Security Council is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting on Friday afternoon in a closed consultation format

To make one of the most densely populated areas in the world even more densely populated.

It speeds up the genocide. Anybody who didn't instantly realize Israel would do a genocide over this has an overly rosy outlook on Israel's position and ambitions in the region. They want to get rid of all the Palestinians (or bring them down to a nice, manageable enslaved population) and fully take over Gaza & WB. They don't want a 2-state solution, they want a 1-state solution, with as few non-Israelies as possible.

The country that spawned as a direct result of the Holocaust is engaged in a genocide of their own. Humans suck.
