The Israeli military said Saturday it will begin preparing for the forcible displacement of Palestinians from Gaza City, days after announcing plans to launch a new offensive to seize the enclave’s largest urban center.
The move follows strikes that health officials said killed at least 40 people, including a baby in a tent in al-Muwasi, an area previously designated a humanitarian zone.
Israel said tents and shelter equipment would be provided starting Sunday for residents relocated to southern Gaza “to ensure their safety,” though rights groups warned the plan amounts to mass forced transfer.
Civil defence officials said conditions in Gaza City’s Zeitun neighborhood were “catastrophic,” with 50,000 residents trapped without food or water amid intensified bombardment.
