Technical note: All of Gaza City is less than 5 kilometers from Wadi Gaza
Dr. Aaron Lerner 15 October 2023
Gazans are not being told by the IDF to travel hundreds of kilometers to
reach safety outside of the war zone delineated at this time by Wadi Gaza.
Not scores of kilometers.
We are talking single digits!
Distances which could have been traversed at a snail's pace within the 24
hour warning period.
The distance between the northernmost section of Gaza City and Wadi Gaza is
no more than 5 kilometers (about 3.1 miles).
The northernmost point in the Gaza Strip is only 7 kilometers from Wadi
Gaza.
UNWRA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the
Near East) could cooperate in moving civilians this short distance or
cynically contribute to encouraging human shields for Hamas to remain in
place.
