In a dramatic move sparking global alarm, the Israeli military has reportedly ordered 1.1 million Palestinians in northern Gaza to evacuate to the south within 24 hours. The United Nations warned the mass displacement could lead to 'devastating humanitarian consequences,' as families scrambled to flee under threat of bombardment. 🌍💔

CGTN footage captured chaotic scenes of evacuation, with residents packing makeshift belongings into cars or fleeing on foot. One woman, who lost her home to airstrikes days earlier, told reporters: "We moved to my sister's house for safety, but now even that isn't safe. We have nowhere left to go." 🏠➡️🚗
UN Sounds the Alarm
UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric stressed the impossibility of relocating such a massive population without severe fallout, citing Gaza's crumbling infrastructure and lack of safe corridors. Meanwhile, global leaders urge restraint as tensions escalate. 🔥
