Friday, Oct. 13
Israeli authorities called for civilians to evacuate Gaza City on Friday, warning that the military “will continue to operate significantly” in the area in the coming days.
The announcement, which the United Nations said would impact about 1.1 million people, came ahead of an expected ground offensive in Gaza. On Monday, Israeli officials ordered a complete siege of the area, blocking food, water, electricity and fuel. Humanitarian groups have warned of increasing dire conditions on the ground.
Thousands of people have died since Hamas launched surprise attacks against Israel on Saturday. One day after the attacks, the country declared war.
