Displaced Palestinians flee southwards, as Israel presses on with Gaza City operation

Palestinians headed southward along a coastal road in central Gaza on Monday , with belongings loaded onto vehicles, as Israel's military operation continued in Gaza City.

Israeli forces blew up more residential buildings in Gaza City on Sunday, killing at least 31 Palestinians and prompting many others to flee, Gazan health authorities said, as Israel's tanks pushed further into the densely populated city.

Nearly two years into the war, Israel describes Gaza City as the last bastion of Hamas and the military has been demolishing housing blocks it says were being used by the militant group since launching its ground assault in the city this month.

The Israeli military estimates over 450,000 people have left Gaza City since September, while Hamas disputes this, claiming fewer than 300,000 have evacuated and around 900,000 remain.
