The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees says Israeli orders of evacuation has created panic and anxiety among the people of Gaza.

Israel has asked residents in the middle and northern areas of the Palestinian enclave to further south, where the Israeli forces have continued relentless bombing.

“The evacuation order has created panic, fear and anxiety to people in Gaza — many have already been displaced more than once in this war,” UNRWA wrote on X.

“Israeli forces’ bombardment is ongoing and the number of civilians killed is rapidly increasing. The situation is utterly desperate,” the agency added.
