90 percent of Gaza residents displaced by Israel's evacuation orders: UN

Around 90 percent of residents in the Gaza Strip have been displaced by successive evacuation orders from Israel following the start of its war with Hamas last year, according to the United Nations.

"Mass evacuations in Gaza choke survival and severely constrain aid operations," Muhannad Hadi, a top U.N. official, was quoted saying in a Thursday post on X from the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

The U.N. official warned that evacuation orders are endangering civilians in the enclave.
