Israel is intensifying its military operation in Gaza City, urging residents to evacuate immediately. The IDF aims to defeat Hamas and recover hostages.

The UN warns of a humanitarian crisis, including widespread displacement, overcrowded shelters, and potential famine, while Israel disputes some claims of malnutrition deaths.
