Israel has announced plans to relocate Palestinians from combat zones in northern Gaza to the southern part of the Gaza Strip ahead of a planned military offensive targeting some of the territory's most populated areas, including Gaza City. The Israeli military stated that the relocation would begin on Sunday, providing residents with tents and shelter equipment to ensure their safety during the move. This operation follows Israel’s declaration of an impending ground invasion aimed at seizing control of northern Gaza City and its surrounding areas such as Jabalia and Al-Mawasi. The Israeli army has distributed leaflets ordering the evacuation of these zones. However, reports indicate that many residents are unable to flee due to injuries, hunger, or lack of means, with the United Nations warning that no area in Gaza is truly safe amid the escalating conflict. Israeli tanks are reported to be advancing in areas including Khan Younis, adding to the tense situation on the ground.

Fleeing Gaza City ahead of Israel's impending ground invasion "is a luxury many cannot afford, and some are injured or too weak from hunger to walk to 'safe zones'" that Israel has repeatedly bombed. https://t.co/ixZgJzlpss
