Gaza City saw a wave of evacuations on Sunday as Israel issued fresh orders. Families, including many with young children and the elderly, were seen leaving the city with whatever they could carry. This new displacement adds to the already staggering number of 2.3 million residents who have been forced to flee multiple times.

Over the weekend, there were signs that Hamas might be shifting its stance on the cease-fire terms in light of the extensive destruction. UNRWA reports that about 85,000 people have recently fled Shujaiyah, and over 66,700 from eastern Khan Younis and Rafah following Monday’s evacuation orders.
