The spokesperson for the Israeli army announced that unprecedented "force" attacks are forthcoming in Gaza, urging the population to retreat south.

Approximately 450,000 people have left the city since the beginning of the offensive, but many cannot afford transportation. The humanitarian situation is critical, with many families trapped under rubble and an alarming number of deaths due to hunger. The UN Secretary-General emphasized the severity of the suffering of the Palestinians, mentioning the lack of medical assistance and inhumane conditions.
