How do you evacuate more than a million people across a cramped, urban bombed out territory and get them to safety — in just one day?

In the lead up to a likely ground war invasion, Israel on Friday gave residents of Gaza an ultimatum: move to the southern end of the territory, or face the full force of the Israeli military as it plans to go after Hamas militants on the ground.
