It's sad, because they don't see it...

 but this way of treating people like animals, channelling them through "processing" and treating them pretty much like cattle going on a drive (no railroad cars* provided even...), well, what does it remind YOU of?  #NeverForget #HowQuicklyWe'veForgotten

The United Nations said in a statement late Saturday that it was increasingly seeing children traveling alone among the evacuees, who were arriving in southern Gaza by donkey carts and buses and on foot.

Evacuees have told U.N. staff that Israeli forces established a checkpoint along the main north-south artery, Salah Al-Din Road, where they were ordered to show their IDs and undergo what they described as a facial recognition scan, the statement said. Though Israeli soldiers were not at the checkpoint itself, which consists of two structures, evacuees described being told from afar to file through it, according to the U.N.

Satellite imagery taken and released by Maxar Technologies on Friday appeared to support those reports, showing a large crowd of people bottlenecked just before two rectangular gray structures on the road.

The United Nations said evacuees had reported the Israeli military making arrests along the road. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military about reports of arrests.

The Israeli military said on Sunday that the evacuation corridor was open again, and it urged people to move south for their safety.

* yes, I know there are no railroads along the Gaza refugee evacuation route. Think about it...
