UN says order affecting 1.1 million people will spark ‘devastating humanitarian consequences’ amid likely Israeli ground assault

Hamas has called on Palestinians to stay in their homes after Israel issued sweeping evacuation orders for almost half of Gaza’s more than 2.3 million people ahead of an expected ground offensive.

The Hamas authority for refugee affairs today told residents in the north of the territory to “remain steadfast in your homes and to stand firm in the face of this disgusting psychological war waged by the occupation”.

    That doesn’t mean there will be housing for them however.

    Or food… Or water…

    Or shelter for a few days from now when Israel starts bombing the southern half.

    All this is doing is motivating residents of Gaza to pick up arms against Israel.

    Which a cynic would say is exactly what Israel wants

        Teaching and motivating are two different things. Heck, they are even different words!

        So the answer of Israel of what happened 6 daysis to kill even more civilians and to create unimaginable humanitarian catastrophe in an already occupied territory. And what do you think this will achieve? Hint, it is not going to be exactly long lasting peace.
