Israel-Hamas War Live Updates: Israel army drops flyers warning Gazans to flee 'immediately', reports
Israel-Palestine War Live Updates: Israel has ordered the evacuation of some 1.1 million people in northern Gaza as the latest Israel-Hamas war entered its seventh day, the United Nations said Friday. The order could signal an impending ground offensive, though the military said Thursday that while it was preparing,
a decision had not yet been made. The Israeli military pulverized the Hamas -ruled Gaza Strip with airstrikes and blocked deliveries of food, water, fuel and electricity ahead of a possible ground invasion as Palestinians tried to stock up on supplies. International aid groups warned of a worsening humanitarian crisis after Israel prevented entry of supplies from Egypt to Gaza’s 2.3 million people. The Israel-Hamas war has claimed at least 2,800 lives on both sides since Hamas launched an unprecedented surprise attack on October 7.

Israel-Hamas war news: Moving severely ill people in Gaza amounts to 'death sentence' WHO

"There are severely ill people whose injuries mean their only chances of survival is being on life support, such as mechanical ventilators," said WHO spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic. "So moving those people is a death sentence. Asking health workers to do so is beyond cruel."
