Egypt warned, in a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, from the calls of the Israeli army is asking residents of the Gaza Strip and to leave their homes within 24 hours and head south.
Egypt stressed that this measure constitutes a grave violation of the rules of international humanitarian law, and will expose the lives of more than a million Palestinian citizens and their families to the dangers of remaining in the open without shelter in the face of dangerous and harsh humanitarian and security conditions, in addition to the accumulation of hundreds of thousands in areas not qualified to accommodate them.
Egypt called on the Israeli government to refrain from taking such escalatory steps, as they would have serious consequences on the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.
