Israel launches expanded military onslaught of Gaza City, home to around one million Palestinians

Israel says the "preliminary" phase of its expanded military assault on Gaza City has begun. UN chief Antonio Guterres urged an immediate halt to hostilities in light of the multiple humanitarian crises already affecting Palestinian civilians.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians who had sheltered in Gaza City were ordered to evacuate and seek refuge in southern Gaza as Israel began its ground operations. Many residents have chosen to stay despite the danger, fearing that nowhere is safe in Gaza.
