Israeli the military issued new evacuation warnings for the central area on Sunday (July 20). Gaza Strip, which is filled with displaced Palestinians and in which it has not yet carried out operations in the war against Hamas, reports Reuters.
This agency reports that, according to Palestinian health sources, at least 30 people died while waiting for food aid.
The evacuation order, which may mean the danger of an imminent attack, was issued in the area of the city of Deir al-Balah, which worried the families of the Israeli hostages, who believe that Hamas is holding their relatives in that part of the Gaza Strip, FoNet writes.
The Israeli military said it would continue "with great force to destroy the enemy's capabilities and terrorist infrastructure" in the area.
An Israeli army spokesman urged the civilian population to head to the Muwasi area on the southern Gaza Strip, which Israel has declared a humanitarian zone.
Officials at the Al Shifa hospital in northern Gaza said at least 30 people were killed and dozens wounded in the Israeli army's gunfire, which occurred while they were waiting for trucks with United Nations humanitarian aid to enter.
The Israeli army briefly announced that it was verifying the allegations.
UN: Urgent delivery of humanitarian aid
Palestinian health officials have warned that hundreds of people could soon die in hospitals, which are overflowing with patients suffering from exhaustion due to food shortages and a collapse in aid deliveries.
The United Nations also announced today that civilians are dying of starvation and that humanitarian aid is urgently needed.
While Israel and Hamas are currently negotiating a cease-fire in Qatar, and international experts claim that there has been no progress in that process, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly stated that the expansion of the country's military operations in Gaza will put pressure on Hamas to negotiate.
In Tel Aviv on Saturday evening, tens of thousands of people protested and demanded an end to the war in Gaza, which has been going on since October 2023.
