More than 1.5 million people are already seeking safety in the south of the coastal strip.
GAZA: Israeli air strikes pounded Gaza City today as soldiers battled street-by-street with Hamas fighters, and tens of thousands of Palestinians desperate for safety fled their homes southwards in the besieged territory.
According to a source close to Hamas, talks are underway for the release of 12 hostages, including six Americans, in return for a three-day ceasefire. In the longer term, US secretary of state Antony Blinken has suggested the Palestinian Authority – which exercises limited autonomy only in parts of the occupied West Bank – should retake control of Gaza.
“Hundreds of thousands of people remaining north of Wadi Gaza, including IDPs , are facing a dire humanitarian situation and are struggling to secure the minimum amounts of water and food to survive.”
