 | | Israel warns more than 1M people to evacuate northern Gaza |
The fighting between Israel and Hamas entered a seventh day on Friday with fears of a ground offensive growing stronger following an Israeli order to evacuate the northern region of the Gaza Strip.
Israel's military told the United Nations late Thursday that all of northern Gaza's population needs to evacuate to the southern portion of the enclave, a U.N. spokesman said. The Israeli order gave 24 hours for more than 1 million people, nearly half of Gaza's population, to evacuate.
The Israeli order applied to all U.N. staff and those sheltered in U.N. facilities — including schools, health centers and clinics.
Human Rights Watch said the roads are rubble, fuel is scarce, and the main hospital is in the evacuation zone, making it difficult for people to leave and head south.

 | | Roots of the Dancing Debutantes: Artist Russell Sharon looks back |
Russell Sharon is broad and sinewy with arms veined from years of wrestling with large artworks in many mediums. He’s constantly lighting cigarettes but rarely finishes one. He gets to talking about the past and they burn out.
“We’re in rural Randall [Minn.] on the Todd-Morrison County line, we’re standing next to my pond,” he said, leading a tour of his property which is dotted with his sculptures. “There’s lowland and one side with meadow grass and a field and primeval forest just to the south.”
It’s an eerie setting giving off a rural gothic feeling. It forms the backdrop to Sharon’s exhibit “Roots: A Retrospective,” which opens this weekend at his home.
