Thousands of Palestinians continue to escape from Gaza City, where the main attack of Israel, which aims to occupy the region, enters the second day.

Israel says its goal is to liberate the hostages that Hamas maintains and defeat up to 3,000 fighters in what it describes as the “last stronghold” of the group, but the attack has attracted a widespread international condemnation.

Leaders of more than 20 major relief agencies, including saving children and Oxfam, warned that “the inhumaneness of the situation in Gaza is unreasonable.”

It comes a day after the United Nations Investigation Committee concluded Israel committed genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza – The Israeli government’s claim is strongly thinking.

Amid a large -scale Israeli shelling, the Hamas -running Ministry of Health in Gaza said that the Rantsi Children’s Hospital in Gaza City was targeting three separate Israeli attacks on Tuesday night, which prompted about half of its patients to leave.

A hospital source said that there were no injuries, but air conditioning units, water tanks and solar panels were severely damaged.

“This hospital is the only specialized facility for children with cancer, kidney failure and other life -threatening cases,” said Fikr Shaltoot, Director of GAZA for charitable medical assistance to the Palestinians.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said they were looking into reports.

The IDF announced on Wednesday morning that it hit more than 150 goals throughout Gaza City within two days to support its ground forces.

As part of its operations, the Israeli Defense Army is said to also use the old military vehicles loaded with explosives that have been adjusted to be controlled remotely. They are transferred to Hamas sites and detonated them, according to the Israeli media.

“Last night was very difficult, with continuous explosions and bombing that lasted from night until dawn,” said resident Ndal Al -Shirby for the BBC Arab program in the daily Middle East.

“Israeli vehicles from Sheikh Radwan, Tal Al -Hawa, as well as from Shijaya. It was a very frightening night.”

For several days – due to the intensification of Israel in and around the city – huge columns of Palestinians flowed south in donkeys, vehicles, and compounds tied to the highest property, and on foot.

Until now, they were forced to flee the main coastal road to a “human area” designed by Israel in Al -Malasi.

But on Wednesday, the IDF announced that it would temporarily open a second road for people to travel to – Salahuddin Central Road. She said the road will be open for 48 hours from 12:00 local time (10:00 GMT).

Many Palestinians say they are unable to move south due to the high costs associated with the trip. Some say that renting a small truck now costs 660 pounds ($ 900), while selling a tent for five people of about 880 pounds ($ 1200).

Relief groups, United Nations and others say that the “humanitarian region” that they are expected to move are largely crowded and insufficient to support nearly two million Palestinians who are expected to burn.

Some who followed the army’s orders to evacuate the area say that they have not found an area to showcase their tents and returned north.

“Daily leaflets are thrown in the United States and the evacuation request, while the Israeli army buildings are in every direction,” Munir Azzam, who is in northern Gaza, told the BBC. “But where do we go? We do not have a shelter in the south.”

The IDF said on Tuesday that about 350,000 people fled from Gaza City, while the United Nations has placed the number in 190,000 since August. Estimates indicate at least 650,000.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Wednesday that 98 people were killed and 385 were injured due to an Israeli fire during the past 24 hours. Four other people died due to malnutrition, and they took the total number of malware Since it has declared an unbroken body in Gaza City in late August To 154, added.

Meanwhile, the 48 hostages of hostages protested by Hamas – 20 of them alive – near the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Tuesday and Wednesday, on the pretext that the attack will be at risk.

“Throughout the day, you are proud of killing and destruction,” said Macapket Maeer, the aunt of hostages, Jali and Zif Berman. “The landing of the buildings in Gaza – who is attending these buildings?”

Meanwhile, Pope Liu XIV said that the circumstances of the Palestinians in Gaza were “unacceptable” and repeated his call for a ceasefire.

He told his weekly fans in the Vatican: “I am very close to the Palestinian people in Gaza, who still lives in fear and under unacceptable conditions, forced again to leave their lands.”

Elsewhere, the main executive body of the European Union, the European Commission, proposed imposing sanctions on Israel because of its behavior during the Gaza war and its decision to advance the E1 settlement project, which will actually divide the occupied West Bank into two parts.

The proposal includes suspending some of the provisions related to trade in the European Union Association’s agreement with Israel, as well as sanctions against “extremist ministers” in the Israeli government and violent Israeli settlers. Settings are illegal under international law.

Israel has warned the European Union against imposing measures, which currently do not have sufficient support from member states to pass.

Among the results of the United Nations Investigation Committee’s report that concluded that Israel committed the genocide in Gaza that the Israeli security forces had committed sexual and sexual violence, and the children directly targeted the intention of their killing, and the implementation of a “large -scale device” on a “large -scale” basis on “on a large -scale” large -scale attack “on a large scale” on “a large -scale attack.” Religious and cultural sites and education.

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it categorically rejected the report, and introduced it as “distorted and false.”

Israel launched its war in Gaza in response to the Hamas -led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, where about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others took hostage.

At least 65,062 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since then, nearly half of them are women and children, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.

With the announcement of famine in Gaza City by an uninterrupted food security body, the United Nations warned that the intensification of the attack will push civilians to a “deeper disaster.”
