At least 1,900 Gazans, including more than 600 children, have been killed in missile strikes on the enclave.
Palestinians fled from northern Gaza to the south after Israel warned them to evacuate before an expected ground offensive against Hamas.
Most of those killed when militant fighters burst through the heavily militarised border into Israel last Saturday were civilians, in an attack compared to 9/11 in the US. US president Joe Biden spoke with the families of 14 Americans who have been missing since the Hamas attack on Friday.He also stressed that addressing the swelling humanitarian crisis in Gaza was a “priority”.
In the occupied West Bank, at least 16 Palestinians were killed in clashes with Israeli forces during protests supporting Gaza, the health ministry said.But Netanyahu’s spokesman Tal Heinrich told AFP, “Everything that happens in Gaza is Hamas’ responsibility.” The UN described the immediate movement of nearly half of the 2.4 million in the Gaza Strip as “impossible” and called for the evacuation order to be rescinded.
Egypt – which runs the Rafah crossing to the south of Gaza – faces the dilemma of accepting refugees with the possibility that Israel may never let them return, weakening Palestinian aspirations for statehood.AFP correspondents in Gaza said the Israeli military on Friday dropped flyers warning residents to flee “immediately” south of Wadi Gaza, with a map pointing south across a line in the centre of the 40km-long territory.
Arab League chief Ahmed Abul Gheit said Israel’s evacuation order is a “forced transfer” that constitutes “a crime”.
