First Thing: Hamas tells Gaza City residents to stay put after Israel orders evacuation
theguardian.com

Hamas has called on Palestinians to stay in their homes after Israel issued sweeping evacuation orders for almost half of Gaza’s more than 2.3 million people ahead of an expected ground offensive.

The Hamas authority for refugee affairs today told residents in the north of the territory to “remain steadfast in your homes and to stand firm in the face of this disgusting psychological war waged by the occupation”.

Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, and Israel just told them to fit in half as much space at a time when they have no fuel, water, or electricity.

It's fucking impossible. And if they actually move, the Palestinians are smart enough to know they will never be able to access that land again.

Hell, Hamas is the only ones with the resources to move
