Thousands of residents have fled Gaza City’s southern Zeitoun neighbourhood, where days of continuous Israeli bombardment have created a "catastrophic" situation, the city’s Hamas-run municipality has told the BBC.
At least 40 people were killed by Israeli attacks across the territory on Saturday, Gaza’s civil defence agency said.
The Israeli military said it would begin allowing tents to be brought into Gaza by aid agencies again. Israel plans to forcibly displace a million people from Gaza City to camps in the south.
In Israel, a one-day general strike is under way in protest of the government’s plan to seize Gaza City.
The stoppage was demanded by the families of hostages and others who say the expansion of the war puts the lives of Israelis being held by Hamas at greater risk.
It comes a week after Israel’s war cabinet voted to occupy Gaza City, the territory’s largest city, and displace its population, in a move condemned by the UN Security Council.
