IDF map shows \u2018dangerous combat zone\u2019 not covered by evacuation orderspublished at 10:15 British Summer Time<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been monitoring evacuation notices and areas the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has designated military zones since the ceasefire ended in March. This allows us to assess which areas of Gaza are effectively inaccessible to people living there. <\/p>\n

The most recent official evacuation notice was issued just over a week ago for parts of Deir al Balah. <\/p>\n

However, a map released on Sunday by the IDF designated a new section of central Gaza as a \u201cdangerous combat zone,\u201d without providing an evacuation notice for the area. <\/p>\n

The map divides areas into white and red zones, indicating whether they are covered by the recently announced \u201ctactical\u201d humanitarian pause or remain permanent danger zones. It warns people inside the Strip that entering a red zone \u201cis dangerous and puts your life at risk.\u201d <\/p>\n

The newly-affected area is called Al Mughraqa, north east of Nuseirat – highlighted in dark red on the map below. It covers about 3.7 sq kms and is now marked as a red \u201cdangerous\u201d zone. <\/p>\n

Gazans had already been displaced from this area, which served as part of an Israeli-controlled military corridor before the ceasefire. It has likely remained uninhabited, as satellite imagery shows that nearly every building has been completely demolished.<\/p>\n
