The United Nations announced Friday that its United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has moved its operations headquarters and foreign employees to the southern Gaza Strip, after the Israeli entity issued an order to deport about 1.1 million Palestinians in Gaza to the south of the Strip within the next twenty-four hours, an order that was condemned by the international organization and warned of its devastating consequences.
The UNRWA said in a post on the social media platform X that it has moved its central operations headquarters and international staff to the south to continue its humanitarian operations and support its staff and Palestinian refugees in Gaza.
The move comes after the Israeli entity ordered the residents of Gaza City to evacuate and move south, in a decision that the United Nations confirmed affects 1.1 million people and warned of its devastating consequences, as Operation Al-Aqsa Flood enters its seventh day and the possibilities of a ground invasion of the besieged sector increase.
In response, the government media office in Gaza said that warning Gazans to move is "false propaganda" and urged citizens in the Strip not to be led by it.
The Israeli occupation continues its violent bombardment on various areas in the Gaza Strip, simultaneously with its imposition of a tight stranglehold on the already besieged Strip.
The supply of electricity, water and fuel was cut off, amid international warnings of dire consequences for the deteriorating humanitarian situation there.
