Israeli tanks stormed a neighbourhood in Gaza City telling Palestinians to move south after bombs were dropped overnight, residents and medics say.<\/p>\n

The Shejaia neighbourhood was taken by surprise, according to residents, who said tanks rolled in and fired in the early afternoon on Thursday, with drones attacking after earlier bombing.<\/p>\n

The Palestinian Civil Emergency Service said there were reports of people killed and wounded, but their teams were unable to reach them because of the ongoing offensive.<\/p>\n

Three people were reported killed there in the earlier bombing, with five killed in the Sabra neighbourhood, about 2km west of Shejaia.<\/p>\n

“It sounded as if the war is restarting, a series of bombings that destroyed several houses in our area and shook the buildings,” Mohammad Jamal, 25, told Reuters news agency from Gaza<\/a><\/strong> City.<\/p>\n

Israel<\/a><\/strong> accuses the militants of hiding among civilians and said it warns displaced people to get out of the way of its operations against the fighters.<\/p>\n

‘Evacuate immediately’<\/strong><\/p>\n

“To all residents and displaced people in the Shejaiya area and the new neighbourhoods… for your safety, you must evacuate immediately south on Salah al-Din Street to the humanitarian zone,” army spokesperson Avichay Adraee posted on X.<\/p>\n

Residents and Hamas media said tanks had rolled in before the post and people from the eastern suburb were running west under fire as Israel had blocked the road south.<\/p>\n

There was no other immediate comment from the Israeli military.<\/p>\n

In the southern Gazan city of Rafah, unverified drone footage showed dozens of houses destroyed, with the Swedeya village on the western side of the city completely wiped out.<\/p>\n

There was no Israeli military comment on the overnight military action either.<\/p>\n

‘We are being starved’<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than eight months into Israel’s war on Gaza, triggered by the Hamas-led attack on 7 October, aid officials say the enclave remains at high risk of famine.<\/p>\n

More than 495,000 people across Gaza are facing the most severe, or “catastrophic”, level of food insecurity, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification.<\/p>\n

That is down from a forecast of 1.1 million in the previous update three months ago, but is still more than one fifth of Gaza’s population.<\/p>\n

“We are being starved in Gaza City and are being hunted by tanks and planes with no hope that this war is ever ending,” Mr Jamal said.<\/p>\n

The death of another girl late on Wednesday raised the number of children who have died of malnutrition and dehydration to at least 31, a Gaza health official said.<\/p>\n

Israel denies accusations it has created famine conditions, blaming aid agencies for distribution problems and accusing Hamas of diverting aid, allegations the militants deny.<\/p>\n

Israel’s retaliation, sparked by a Hamas-led attack on 7 October that Israelis say killed around 1,200 people and resulted in more than 250 hostages, has killed more than 37,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s health ministry.<\/p>\n
