Evacuate where/how?

This reminds me of that thing playground bullies do where they grab a kid's hand and smash it into the kid's own face while asking "why don't you stop hitting yourself".

Only with this one all the kids are maimed and killed.

It is not clear where Israel plans on evacuating the Palestinian citizens, as most can’t return to the northern region due to widespread destruction.

They also more than likely cannot move into Egypt without violating a four-decade peace treaty between Egypt and Israel.

The border between Gaza and Egypt is already a humanitarian aid entry point.

The plan has been met with criticism, including from the US, as Israel has intentions of moving ground forces into the city.

I am sure it will be fine. IDF has shown that they go to great lengths to protect innocent palestinians.

For real, it has some "sell their flooded houses to aquaman" vibes. Evacuate where? There is nowhere to evacuate. It would have been funny, if it wasnt so tragic.
