Israel’s military has said it plans to move displaced Palestinians in Gaza to what it called “humanitarian islands” in the middle of the strip, ahead of any offensive in Rafah.

Some 1.4 million people are sheltering in the southern city after fleeing the fighting between Israeli troops and Hamas in northern and central areas.

It is not clear what the “islands” will look like, or how they will operate.

    From the article it sounds more like Trail of Tears…

    They’re refugees in their own country who are starving to death, and now being told they have to walk a great distance to safety, knowing as soon as they get there they’ll likely be ordered to do another forced march.

    Israel is going to keep ordering starvation marches all across Palestine. And killing everyone that won’t or can’t do the march.

    The places they’re being moved to now, have already been destroyed. There’s no food, water, or shelter there.
