Contacted by AFP, the military confirmed that “700,000 Palestinians have evacuated” from the northern city to the south of the Gaza Strip.
The UN estimated at the end of August that approximately one million people lived in Gaza City and its surrounding areas, where it has declared a famine.
“Over the past week, strikes in Gaza city have been especially intensive,“ OCHA said, highlighting attacks on displacement tents, residential buildings, and public infrastructure.
Gaza’s civil defence agency reported that Israeli strikes on Thursday killed at least 22 people across the territory, including five in Gaza City.
Media restrictions and access difficulties in the territory prevent AFP from independently verifying the details provided by either the civil defence or the Israeli military.
“The whole place was destroyed and nothing was left fit for human use,“ said resident Youssef Younis.
Israel’s military offensives over nearly two years have killed at least 65,502 Palestinians in Gaza, mostly civilians, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
The war began with Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, which killed 1,219 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli figures. – AFP
