    south. if you’re in gaza, you need a boat to go west, Israel is to the east, and a massive invasion is coming from the north.

    it’s only 30 miles from extreme northern gaza to the Egyptian border. shouldnt take more than 2 days to get that far.

      Sure… just roll on over to the still functional supermarket and use your credit card to stock up on a few weeks worth of supplies. Hop in your SUV and stop by the functional petrol station to fill up and get some extra.

      Take the coastal highway for a scenic, peaceful drive down to your winter house until it blows over. Maybe your friends are going too so you can have a BBQ.

        eh, it wasnt like Egypt was ever going to allow them to cross anyway. the goal is to get evacuated as far from northern gaza as possible.

      The border is closed. And where and how exactly are you gonna house and feed a million people? And how will you move a million people, including the elderly, children, pregnant women? The infrastructure there is shaky at best on a good day. And all that is besides the fact that a lot of the excape routes have been or are actively being bombed to hell.

      This is pure genocide that’s happening. Israel was already systematically wiping out the Palestinian people and now their plans have just been accelerated.

        if they all started walking 21 hours ago when I first made the comment, they’d be close to halfway evacuated from northern gaza. complaining about it isnt going to prevent anything.

          Then just hide behind a hill or a cactus until Egypt ignores 1.1mln people in their country.

          Done and dusted.

      The UN and other organizations have already said its impossible. The casualties of an evacuation of this scale (with Israel’s siege still ongoing, mind you, so no food coming or going, in a region where in the best of days 80% of the people are dependent on foreign aid) would only be slightly less than the casualties of a ground invasion of Gaza with the residents still in it.
