The Israeli military is urging people to leave the Sheikh Radwan area in Gaza City and areas in and around the city of Jabalia in northern Gaza, where several extensive raids have been carried out during the war. Most of the battles in the past week have taken place in and around densely populated Jabalia.
On Friday, at least 20 people were killed in the city as a result of an Israeli air strike on a building in a refugee camp. Several bodies were found among the rubble on Saturday morning, and additional people are missing, according to the health department in Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas.
The Israeli military's spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, is urging people in a post on X to head south to already overcrowded Muwasi, where the Israeli military has established a humanitarian zone.
No food has entered Gaza since October 1, according to the UN's food program WFP, which warns that Israel's ground offensive is having a catastrophic impact on food security for thousands of families.
The northern part is essentially cut off and we can't make deliveries there, says Antoine Renard at WFP.
The military has also ordered the evacuation of patients and medical staff from the three largest hospitals in northern Gaza.
Israel is at war with both Hamas, which is labeled a terrorist organization, in Gaza and Hamas' ally Hezbollah in Lebanon.
