Palestinians ordered by the Israeli army to evacuate northern Gaza are running out of time to get out, as more than half of the supposed 24-hour window has elapsed.

Civilians say many are staying in their homes because they have “no place to go” in the south, where hospitals are already at capacity and missiles from Israel continue to hit.

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) issued their evacuation notice at midnight, saying areas near Gaza City had been used for Hamas’ “military operations”.

They called on the region’s 1.1 million civilians to head south but UN aid chief Martin Griffiths wrote on social media: “The noose around the civilian population in Gaza is tightening. How are 1.1 million people supposed to move across a densely populated warzone in less than 24 hours?”

Hamas urged citizens to remain at home and “stand firm in the face of this disgusting psychological war”.
