The Israeli army on Friday told the nearly one million Palestinians living in Gaza to evacuate the northern territory.

The army has prepared to attack the Hamas terrorist group, due to which these orders have been given to almost half of the population of Gaza.

The United Nations has warned that such mass exodus could be catastrophic.

On the other hand, Hamas has described these orders as a trick of Israel and asked people to stay in their homes.

It has been seven days since this terrible war, attacks are happening from both sides.

More than 1,300 Israelis have been killed in the Hamas attack, including 247 Israeli soldiers.

At least 2,800 people have died on both sides since the war.

Hamas has taken about 150 people hostage.

Israel said on Thursday that a total siege of Gaza would continue until Hamas released the hostages.
