Israel intensifies Gaza City attacks, forcing starving Palestinians to flee
Briefly

The situation in Gaza is deteriorating as Israel increases military operations in Gaza City, particularly affecting neighborhoods like Zeitoun, Sabra, Remal, and Tuffah. The United Nations indicates that plans to forcibly displace Palestinians to southern Gaza will exacerbate suffering. Thousands of families have fled devastation caused by continuous airstrikes, including casualties among residents. Reports highlight the surprise and distress among residents, many of whom are now displaced. International condemnation arises over Israeli plans to further push residents south amidst accusations of genocide by rights organizations.
The Gaza City neighbourhoods of Zeitoun, Sabra, Remal, and Tuffah have particularly borne the brunt of the Israeli bombardments in recent days, as a spokesperson for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said Israel's plans to forcibly displace Palestinians to southern Gaza would increase their suffering.
Days of continuous strikes have left the Zeitoun neighbourhood devastated, causing thousands of families to flee. At least seven people were killed on Sunday when an Israeli air strike hit al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City.
Residents were surprised when the artillery shelling and the intensive air raids started. As the violence escalated, many were forced to evacuate hungry, devastated, and displaced yet again, leaving behind everything they had.
Israeli military plans to push deeper into Gaza City and remove its residents to the south have drawn international condemnation, with rights organizations describing the actions in Gaza as an act of genocide.
