**IDF: 550,000 Out of One Million Civilians Have Fled Gaza City**
According to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), approximately 550,000 civilians out of one million have fled Gaza City amid ongoing military operations.
At the initial stages of the evacuations, a couple of weeks ago, only around 70,000 civilians had left the area. By early last week, that number had risen significantly to approximately 250,000.
Displaced Palestinians, fleeing northern Gaza due to the Israeli military operation, have been moving southward after Israeli forces ordered residents of Gaza City to evacuate to the south, in the central Gaza Strip.
