Israel has ordered the evacuation of large areas of Gaza’s main southern city, the United Nations says, Paralel.Az reports citing The Times of Israel.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says Israel had released maps showing new areas covering about 20 percent of the Khan Younis city that have been marked for evacuation.

Before fighting broke out, the area was home to more than 110,000 people, OCHA says.
