Netanyahu has not said anything about when a possible evacuation will take place. It is also not known where Israel wants the large crowds to be moved to.
A number of countries and organizations have strongly warned against the announced ground invasion. Among other things, US President Joe Biden has referred to such an operation as excessive.

Eats animal food
The remaining population in the north is very isolated from the outside world. BBC reports that children go days without food, and access to emergency aid is very limited. They mix animal food into their diet, but access to this is also limited.
In the past month, Israel has cut off more than half of the emergency aid supplies to northern Gaza, according to the UN.
Last month, a spokesperson for the IDF’s work to coordinate emergency aid access in Gaza denied that the population was starving.
