Israeli army issues evacuation order for Gaza City’s largest tower
In the past half an hour, the Israeli army has issued a forced evacuation order for people living in Gaza City’s largest residential building, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports.
“We’re talking about a 16-storey building that houses at least 65 residential apartments and lots of department stores at the bottom of this residential tower,” Mahmoud said.
The announcement was confirmed by several residents who received a phone call from the Israeli army giving them a short window of time to evacuate immediately, he said.
The building has not been bombed yet, but the evacuation order has already triggered a state of panic and fear among civilians, he added.
Earlier, the Israeli military ordered people in Mushtaha Tower, a 12-storey Gaza City building surrounded by hundreds of makeshift tents, to evacuate and later blew it up, claiming it was “Hamas infrastructure”.
UN decries forced evacuations in Gaza as attacks fuel displacement
UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric says tents sheltering displaced people were damaged in Israel’s attack on a high-rise tower in Gaza City.
“We’re also concerned by the announcement that more high-rise buildings will be attacked soon,” Dujarric said, referring to a forced evacuation order issued by the Israeli army for residents inside Gaza City’s largest tower.
“These developments are forcing increasing numbers of people to flee in a place where just about everyone has already been displaced, often many times, and where famine, as you know, has just been confirmed,” Dujarric said.
“Humanitarian colleagues tell us that in the north, people are simply just exhausted – not only because displacement sites are overcrowded … but also because transport can cost up to $1,000.”

One killed, 15 wounded while waiting for aid in Gaza City
The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its al-Saraya Field Hospital in Gaza City has received the body of one person and treated 15 others injured while waiting for aid in the Zikim area.
Despite what it described as a severe shortage of medical supplies, PRCS teams said they managed to provide the necessary treatment to the wounded. At least three other Palestinians were killed earlier while waiting for aid in southern Gaza.
According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, more than 2,300 Palestinians have been killed and some 17,000 wounded while seeking aid at distribution points or along convoy routes used by the UN and other aid groups.
Israeli forces launch new attacks on Gaza City, southern Gaza
Palestinian sources say Israeli warplanes launched an air raid on central Khan Younis in southern Gaza a short while ago.
Meanwhile, artillery fire has been reported in the eastern parts of Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood, in northwest Gaza City, as Israeli forces continue to bombard densely populated areas.
The attacks come as medical sources in the enclave reported 70 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since dawn, according to the Wafa news agency.
They also come as the Israeli army presses on with its assault on Gaza City, where some one million Palestinians remain trapped.
