JERUSALEM – As fierce clashes between the Israeli army and Hamas continue in Gaza City, the number of people fleeing on foot to southern Gaza has increased. The UN said 15,000 people had fled yesterday. 5,000 people left northern Gaza yesterday. Israel claimed to have destroyed a tunnel network of Hamas hideouts and killed Mahsin Abu Sina, a weapons expert, in airstrikes.
The number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza offensive, which entered its second month, reached 10,569, including 4,324 children. 26,457 people were injured. 214 people were killed in the last 24 hours alone.
There are reports of heavy firing between the two sides near the Al Shadi refugee camp in Gaza City. Israel says 32 soldiers killed in Gaza Palestinian media reported that Hamas was carrying out a brave resistance. Concerns have been raised in Israel that blasting the tunnels could endanger the lives of hostages held there.
The last shop in Gaza City, home to 6.5 million people before the war, was closed on Tuesday. More than half of the houses were destroyed in airstrikes.
The UN reported that 600 people use one toilet in relief camps in southern Gaza. More than half a million pregnant women are in a situation where they do not get medical help. The Red Cross reported that Israel bombed 5 trucks carrying life-saving medicines.

The US disagreed with Israel’s position that it would not leave Gaza even after the military operation. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that although Hamas cannot be allowed to continue, Israel’s occupation of Gaza is not possible. The Tokyo summit of the G7 nations, which issued a statement condemning Hamas and supporting Israel, called for a ceasefire.
