Israel Storms Gaza City Neighborhood, Orders Palestinians to Move South

 


In a recent escalation of the ongoing conflict, Israel stormed a neighborhood in Gaza City, directing Palestinians to move south. Tanks rolled into the Shejaia neighborhood, firing and causing destruction. Drones also attacked after overnight bombings. The Palestinian Civil Emergency Service reported casualties in Shejaia, but their teams were unable to reach the affected areas due to the ongoing offensive. Meanwhile, the armed wing of Hamas ally Islamic Jihad detonated an explosive device against an Israeli tank east of Shejaia.

The situation remains dire in Gaza, with aid officials warning of high famine risk. Almost half a million people face “catastrophic” food insecurity. Additionally, the death toll from malnutrition and dehydration has risen, with at least 31 children losing their lives. Israel denies creating famine conditions, attributing distribution problems to aid agencies and accusing Hamas of diverting aid.

This conflict continues to have devastating consequences for civilians, and urgent humanitarian efforts are needed to address the crisis.
