Egypt's foreign ministry warned on Friday against calls from the Israeli army for more than 1 million of the Gaza Strip's residents to leave their homes and head south, saying it would have a serious impact on humanitarian conditions in the enclave.
Such a move would be a "grave violation" of international humanitarian law and expose the lives of Gaza residents to danger, putting hundreds of thousands of people in areas not fit to accommodate them, the ministry said in a statement.on Friday that Gallant said Palestinian civilians "who want to save their lives" must heed Israel's warning to evacuate southward in Gaza.
Speaking at a military graduation ceremony late on Thursday, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said it was "important that the people remain steadfast and present on their land" as Egypt pushed to secure humanitarian relief. Operations at the crossing were disrupted by Israeli strikes on the Palestinian side of the border earlier this week and civilians have not been passing through the crossing since Tuesday.
