Thousands flee Gaza City as Israeli forces advance

The Israeli Defense Forces opened a new evacuation route as over 190,000 Palestinians fled Gaza City, with 650,000 estimated to remain amid ongoing conflict.

  • On September 16, 2025, thousands of Palestinians fled Gaza City after Israeli forces ordered residents to evacuate south amid an advancing ground offensive.
  • This evacuation followed Israel’s announcement to seize control of Gaza's main urban center, which was prompted by the Hamas attack on southern Israel in October 2023.
  • The Israeli military opened a temporary evacuation route along Salah al-Din Road for 48 hours, while families faced dangers including robot bombs and rising displacement costs.
  • Israeli forces struck Gaza City over 150 times recently, killing at least 16 people and hitting Gaza's only specialist children’s hospital amid a death toll near 65,000 since October 2023.
  • The intensified offensive continues despite international calls for ceasefire and humanitarian intervention, with UN investigations accusing Israel of genocide and the EU proposing sanctions.
