Thousands of Gazans are facing renewed displacement as the Israeli military rains leaflets on Gaza City, urging residents to evacuate to a "humanitarian zone" near al-Mawasi.

But many residents distrust the promise of water, food, and medicine, citing the dire conditions and Israeli airstrikes at other refugee camps.

The IDF is zeroing in on the remaining high-rise buildings in the urban area, claiming that Hamas militants are operating from them.
