Israel has ordered new evacuations in Gaza’s southern city of Rafah. That's forcing tens of thousands more people to move as the military prepares to expand its operation closer to the heavily populated central area in defiance of growing pressure from close ally the United States and others. Israel’s military also says it is moving into an area of devastated northern Gaza where it asserts that the Hamas militant group has regrouped. Israel has now evacuated the eastern third of Rafah, considered the last refuge in Gaza. The expanding operation has badly affected the operations of the main aid entry points.
