Gaza City has nearly completely emptied of Palestinians, according to fresh IDF estimates.

Per the military’s assessments, some 900,000 of the estimated 1 million Palestinians who were residing in Gaza City ahead of the IDF’s major offensive have evacuated to the Strip’s south.

Civilians were instructed last month to evacuate all areas of Gaza City and head to an Israeli-designated humanitarian zone in southern Gaza.

The rate of Palestinians leaving the area has risen in the past weeks, as the IDF advanced deeper into Gaza City, according to Israeli figures.

However, the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported on October 2 that it was “estimated that hundreds of thousands of people remain in Gaza city and North Gaza governorate.”
