Images from eastern Rafah show people packing up their belongings and evacuating in cars, trucks, mule-drawn carts and on foot, as the Israeli army told civilians there to "evacuate immediately".
The order comes a day after the country's defense minister told troops in Gaza to expect "intense action" in the city "in the near future." The current evacuation affects about 100,000 people.
Flyers were dropped from the air by the Israeli army warning residents and people in the Rafah camp, the Brazil camp and the Al-Shabura and Al-Zoour neighborhoods that "staying in these areas puts your life at risk."
It is unclear whether the evacuation order signals a prelude to an attack, but the city has become the central focus of the war.
During the nearly seven-month war, more than 1 million Palestinians have fled to Rafah, where Hamas is believed to have regrouped following Israel's destruction of the northern part of the strip.
