In this episode, we discuss the harrowing challenge of evacuations amidst the recent turmoil in northern Gaza. International humanitarian law mandates effective warnings for civilians in the face of impending attacks, with the primary goal of ensuring their safe evacuation. However, the unforgiving time constraints and dire conditions in Gaza render this evacuation a heartbreaking ordeal.

International law also imposes the responsibility of supplying evacuated civilians with life-saving essentials – food, water, medical aid, shelter and heating fuel. The anguish in Gaza is compounded by the enduring impact of the past blockade, resulting in a heart-wrenching humanitarian crisis.
