Thousands of Gazans have fled Zeitoun, Gaza City, due to intense Israeli bombardment, resulting in a catastrophic situation. At least 40 Palestinians were killed in Saturday's attacks. Israel plans to forcibly displace a million Gazans, a move condemned by the UN. Simultaneously, Israelis are staging a one-day general strike protesting the government's plan to seize Gaza City, fearing it endangers Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Israel will resume allowing tents into Gaza for aid purposes.
