'''Gan Or''' ({{langx|he|גַּן אוֹר}}, ''lit.'' Garden of Light) was an [[Israeli settlement]] located in the [[Gush Katif]] settlement bloc and evacuated in Israel's [[Israel's unilateral disengagement plan|disengagement]] of 2005. On the day of its evacuation 52 families, over 320 people, lived there.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Gan Or was founded in 1980 as an [[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox]] [[moshav]] by a group of former members of the [[Bnei Akiva]] [[Mizrahi Jews|Mizrahi]] youth group and the [[Hesder]] [[yeshiva]] program at [[Netzarim (settlement)|Netzarim]] and moved to its current location in 1983.<ref name="mapa">{{Cite book<br />

==Unilateral disengagement==<br />
Gan Or was officially evacuated on August 18, 2005 by the [[Israeli Army]] and [[Israeli Police]], though most of the residents had left earlier. A majority of the families moved to the temporary refuge of [[Nitzan]] to which several hundred evacuated families from [[Gush Katif]] were relocated.<br />
