Gaza’s Civil Defence Organisation has appealed to the United Nations to push Israel to stop repeatedly displacing people in the enclave, Al Jazeera reports.

The call comes after Israel issued several new evacuation orders, covering swathes of northern and central Gaza, within days, further shrinking the territory’s “humanitarian zone”.

In a statement, the Civil Defence said the latest evacuation orders in central Gaza had affected more than 450,000 people, “reopening their wounds”.

“We appeal to the United Nations and the International Court of Justice to intervene to stop this policy,” said the statement, claiming it “violates humanitarian law”.
