Rafah residents ordered to evacuate: 'Nowhere safe for anybody to go in Gaza'

Israel ordered new evacuations in Gaza's southern city of Rafah on Saturday, forcing tens of thousands more people to move as it prepares to expand its operation. However, “there’s nowhere safe for anybody to go to in Gaza and particularly in the southern part of the Gaza Strip where we already have intense overcrowding in some of the makeshift zones that have been designated for humanitarian exit from the Rafah area,” Alliance for Middle East Peace Executive Director John Lyndon told FRANCE 24. According to the Israeli army, some 300,000 people have already evacuated, but an estimated 700,000 to 1.1 million people remain in the wider Rafah area, Lyndon said
