People in northern Gaza will be given safe routes to the south, Israeli military says

The Israeli Defence Forces have told people in the north of the Gaza Strip that between 10am and 4pm there will be two safe routes for them to move south.

The routes, one along the coast and one down the centre of the Gaza Strip, were laid out in a tweet from the IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee.

“For your safety, take advantage of the short time to move south,” the message said. On Friday, the Israeli military gave Palestinians in the north a 24 hour deadline to evacuate ahead of an expected ground operation.

Lack of fuel and electricity and bad internet connections mean people in Gaza have very little access to social media.
