DayofPal– A new data analysis by the Sanad agency has revealed that 78% of the Gaza Strip is now designated as “danger zones” as Israeli evacuation orders continue to widen in scope.
The findings come in the wake of an intensified military campaign that resumed on March 18, 2025.
The Sanad agency reviewed all evacuation warnings issued by the Israeli army between March 18 and June 29. Using block numbers referenced in Israeli military documents, researchers mapped the alerts against the operational grid first introduced by the Israeli army on October 7, 2023.
The analysis shows that approximately 282.8 square kilometers of Gaza, out of a total 364.8 square kilometers, are now marked in red, indicating zones of extreme danger.
This dramatic expansion leaves nearly two million displaced Palestinians confined to less than a quarter of the territory, already one of the most densely populated areas on Earth.
In recent weeks, Israeli evacuation orders have reached unprecedented levels. The army has initiated what appears to be a comprehensive evacuation of civilians from northern Gaza and from Rafah in the far south.
The military’s latest operation, dubbed “Gideon’s Chariots,” has fueled a surge in forced displacement.
Hundreds of thousands have been driven from cities and neighborhoods across Gaza, including Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahiya, Sheikh Zayed, Tal Al-Zaatar, Jabalia, and the eastern districts of Gaza City such as Al-Shujaiya and Tuffah.
The wave of evacuations has also swept into Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza and expanded into eastern Khan Younis.
The Government Media Office in Gaza has condemned the latest military operations, stating that the Israeli army is targeting “everything that moves” in the north. It further accused Israeli forces of “killing and displacing civilians in a systematic way.”
According to the Media Office, Israeli drones have deliberately torched hundreds of tents sheltering displaced families in areas including Tal Al-Zaatar, Jabalia, and Beit Lahiya.
As many as 300,000 Palestinians have reportedly fled northern Gaza in response to the relentless bombardment and ground assaults.
In Gaza City, tens of thousands of displaced residents have arrived without access to shelter or basic supplies.
With camps overwhelmed and infrastructure decimated, many families are now forced to sleep on the streets, particularly along Al-Jalaa and Al-Saftawi roads.
The Sanad analysis underscores the severe and growing humanitarian crisis, as the population continues to be corralled into increasingly confined and dangerous spaces with few avenues for escape or survival.
