Israel intensifies strikes across Gaza City

Residents of Gaza City are fleeing en masse as Israeli airstrikes intensify, and evacuation orders are issued. The Israeli military has urged civilians to relocate to a "humanitarian zone" in Al-Mawasi, but many fear no place in Gaza is safe. "The situation is tough, a misery. There is no medicine, no safety, and no stability," a displaced Palestinian said.

The Israeli Defense Forces estimate that 250,000 Gaza City residents have already left, out of a population of about a million. It claims Hamas militants are using high-rise buildings in Gaza City for surveillance as justification for the destruction.
