US: 400,000 Still in North Gaza Despite Relocation Efforts

Up to 400,000 people are still in the north of Gaza, according to US special envoy David Satterfield.

Over the last few weeks, Israel has been telling residents evacuate the north of the Strip and move south, which it designated as a so-called safe area.

Since, the north has been the target of relentless Israeli bombardment from the air and a ground offensive – though there have also been airstrikes in the south.

Speaking to reporters in the Jordanian capital Amman this morning, Satterfield said 800,000 to a million people had made the move to the south, while 350,000-400,000 remained in the north of the enclave.
