The Israeli occupation attacks on Gaza on Thursday night were one of its most violent and brutal so far.
The Israeli occupation entity said in a statement that 1.1 million people living in northern Gaza must evacuate within the next 24 hours, hinting at plans to start a much-feared ground invasion of the devastated Strip that has been under nonstop bombing since last Saturday.
Responding to the Israeli announcement, the United Nations warned that this order would be “impossible” to take place, sounding the alarm on “devastating humanitarian consequences.”
“The United Nations strongly appeals for any such order, if confirmed, to be rescinded avoiding what could transform what is already a tragedy into a calamitous situation,” the UN said in a statement.
“Tel Aviv” also told the UN that it should remove its staff working in Gaza within the same time period.
“It’s completely unprecedent,” one UN official said, according to CBS News, on condition of anonymity.
The UN evacuated a number of foreign employees from one of the hotels northwest of Gaza, Al Mayadeen‘s correspondent said on Friday.
This is genocide
Meanwhile, the Israeli bombing of besieged Gaza continued throughout Thursday night for the sixth consecutive day since the launching of the Palestinian Resistance Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, last Saturday morning, in response to the ongoing unbearable Israeli crimes against Palestinians.
The dark-time airstrikes were one of the most violent yet, targeting entire residential neighborhoods and buildings, leaving nothing but dust, debris, and casualties behind as the number of martyrs continues to rise horrifically.
The Palestinian Health Ministry revealed on Thursday that the total number of Palestinian martyrs in the brutal Israeli aggression has surpassed 1,500 and the wounded are now over 6,600, noting that over half of the martyrs are children and women: 447 children and 248 women.
