International law strictly prohibits the internal depopulation of an occupied territory by the occupying power, as Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention explicitly forbids both individual and mass forcible transfers, and deportations, regardless of the motive. This prohibition also applies to transfers of the occupying power's own population into the occupied territory. While limited and temporary evacuations for security reasons are permissible, they must ensure the family members are not separated and that the area is safe and hygienic. Any forced movement must be as short as the security situation allows, and conditions for those interned must be adequate.
