Our middle east correspondent tom bateman is injerusalem for us this morning. Tom, if you could take us through this very significant news we are hearing from israel and the un as well this morning about this 24 hour countdown to up to i Million People living in the north of gaza who must relocate. What we know about that . What we know is the first alert to this was to the United Nations, to the local staff in the gaza strip, from the Military Liaison by the israelis. They told them that everybody, of an area known as wadi gaza, i. I everybody, of an area known as wadi gaza, 1. 1 billion people, people in hospitals, the elderly, disabled and infirm, would have to move south within 2a hours to a much densely populated area. Some of that area is very barren, there are bits of desert there. This should be done within 2a hours, including all Un Facilities and other protected areas. We woke up to that news in the last couple of hours. Speaking to colleagues in gaza, rumours were circulating during the night. There was i think among palestinians from complete disbelief that this message was put out. But the last hour israel has confirmed this. 1. 1 Million People being told to move in 24 Million People being told to move in 2a hours is 40,000 people Million People being told to move in 24 hours is 40,000 people an hour, clearly completely impossible, it would break utter chaos, it would be one of the biggest forced displacement with Israeli Forces matted massed around the in history. The israelis say they are doing this for humanitarian reasons, to protect the civilian population, when fighting those into gaza at which they blame on hamas, they are trying to protect civilians. Their ambassador at the un has criticised the United Nations for saying that this order should be rescinded because the un is saying this would turn a tragedy into a calamity. Tam. Turn a tragedy into a calamity. Tom, the question turn a tragedy into a calamity. Tom, the question that turn a tragedy into a calamity. Tom, the question that poses turn a tragedy into a calamity. Tom, the question that poses next, turn a tragedy into a calamity. Tom, the question that poses next, of the question that poses next, of course, and its one you alluded to there, is what happens after . As i understand it, the Israeli Military is not being specific about what it is not being specific about what it is will happen when that deadline passes. We is will happen when that deadline asses. ~ ~. , y. Is will happen when that deadline asses. ~ ~. ,. , passes. We know they are preparing for a ground passes. We know they are preparing for a Ground Invasion, passes. We know they are preparing for a Ground Invasion, that passes. We know they are preparing for a Ground Invasion, that was for a Ground Invasion, that was confirmed yesterday. No decision about when or whether it would actually happen, but the preparations are being made no decision was evident at that point. In terms of what is happening on the ground, we talked about that massive build up of troops around gaza. This is being taken seriously by the humanitarian agencies in gaza city and that is significant. Overnight convoys of the International Committee for the red cross, other United Nations humanitarian aid Agency Workers and some International Staff left gaza city to go self. The assumption was that that was in preparation of a Mass Movement of people. We now have the Hamas Run Interior Ministry in gaza telling people to ignore this, Calling It Psychological Warfare by Israeli Forces and say people can still find safety elsewhere. But of course its not safe in gaza city. Already this announcement is bringing an element of chaos ahead of expected Ground Invasion. Thank ou ve of expected Ground Invasion. Thank you very much. Of expected Ground Invasion. Thank you very much, tom. Lets give you an idea of the geography. Wadi is a nature reserve, this is the point that the un has been told by the Israeli Military, anyone living north of wadi gaza should move to the south of the territory. This amounts to approximately 1. 1 billion people. The same order applies to those who are in Un Facilities, i. I the same order applies to those who are in Un Facilities, 1. 1 Million People. The same order applies to those in Un Facilities, schools, hospitals and clinics. The un says it considers it impossible for such a movement to take place without devastating humanitarian consequences and has appealed for any order is rescinded to avoid what could transform what is a tragedy, in the uns words, into a calamity situation. Aid agencies at this point in time, remember there is no electricity, fuel has run out, reportedly, we have been told. And there are food and water shortages. Aid agencies say gaza is facing a dire situation with food and water quickly running out. So far, Tens Of Thousands of troops have been deployed to the border of gaza. Our defence correspondentjonathan Beale Resports on the possible challenges of a Ground Offensive. Initially caught off guard. But israel has long been preparing for the next phase of this war. Their troops call it mini gaza, a multi Million Dollar urban Warfare Centre to train for a potential Ground Assault. It even includes a labyrinth of tunnels. Hamas is believed to have built more than 1,000. The tightly packed streets of gaza favours the defender. Buildings to hide in. Intense israeli air strikes, which have already reduced many to rubble, form barriers to any invading force. Even israels overwhelming airpower will not be able to destroy an army underground. Hamas is very well prepared. They prepared the underground, booby traps all around. But professionally, i dont see how the goal, which was written by the cabinet to destroy the Military Force of the hamas, can be done without going with Ground Forces into the gaza strip. It wouldnt be the first time Israels Defence Force has entered gaza. But operations like this, the most recent in 2014, were short and limited. Veterans say this time it could prove more costly if israel is to achieve its objective of crushing hamas. That time the decision was to have containment, to deter them, to weaken them. It was not like today. Today we are facing unprecedented threat to israel itself. I mean, if we tolerate what has been done, this will be our dramatic mistake. More than 100 israeli hostages snatched by hamas and now held in gaza will make any assault more difficult. The expectation is now for action. Hundreds of thousands of reservists have dropped everything to join a camp near gazas border, and theyre ready to fight. When i heard about it, the exact second i took myself and come to here to join my troops. Where were you . In sri lanka. You were in sri lanka and you got on a Plane Straightaway . Yeah. We would love to have peace. Fortunately, thats not a possibility. And we enjoy living. So we need to fight for the right to live. The new unity government has yet to announce its next move, but its tanks and troops are ready and awaiting orders. Israel has been massing its forces on the border here with gaza. If israel is to achieve its objective of destroying hamas, it will involve a land assault. But recent history shows invasions dont always go according to plan. From vietnam to iraq and afghanistan, even the worlds most advanced militaries can get bogged down. Jonathan beale, bbc news, Southern Israel.
