"The Israeli army is intensifying its military operations in Gaza City, threatening Palestinians to evacuate southwards as attacks accelerate. According to an army post on X, more than 250,000 people have reportedly fled the city. The military is urging remaining residents to travel via al-Rashid Street towards al-Mawasi or camps in central Gaza. However, Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud said, Despite intense bombardment in Gaza City, many residents have stayed put or returned after seeking shelter elsewhere"
"Despite intense bombardment in Gaza City, many residents have stayed put or returned after seeking shelter elsewhere because many of Israel's designated evacuation zones are desperately overcrowded and under-resourced, including lacking proper water access. The United Nations estimates from late August indicated approximately one million Palestinians were living in and around Gaza's largest urban centre, where famine conditions are taking hold after months of deteriorating circumstances."
"The Israeli army's Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee claimed on Saturday on X: More than a quarter of a million residents of Gaza City have moved out of the city for their own safety. Gaza's Civil Defence agency contradicted this figure, reporting fewer than 70,000 people had managed to leave. Mohammad Abu Salmiya, head of the al-Shifa Hospital, told the AFP news agency that while displacement continues within Gaza City, only a small number of people have been able to reach the south."
Thousands remain in Gaza City because southern evacuation zones are overcrowded and lack adequate water. The Israeli army has intensified operations and urged residents to travel via al-Rashid Street south. An army post said more than 250,000 people fled Gaza City, while Gaza's Civil Defence reported fewer than 70,000 had left. The UN estimated about one million Palestinians lived in and around the city in late August, with famine conditions emerging. The military dropped leaflets warning western district residents to evacuate amid continuous air raids. Hospital officials say displacement continues but only a small number have reached the south.
