Jerusalem, September 26 (Xinhua) — Around 700,000 Palestinians have fled Gaza City amid Israeli ground and air strikes on the enclave's largest urban center, the Israeli military announced Thursday.
Israeli army spokesman Efi Defrin told reporters that "around 700,000 residents have been evacuated" since mid-August, when Israel launched a new attack on Gaza City. He said they have relocated to the so-called "humanitarian zone" in the southern Gaza Strip, without specifying the source of the data.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Thursday that some 388,400 displacements were recorded between August 14 and September 23, mostly from Gaza City towards Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah, areas projected to face famine by the end of September, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).
According to E. Devrin, five ground operations divisions are active throughout the Gaza Strip, three of which are striking Gaza City and "strengthening control." Since mid-August, Israeli forces have carried out more than 2,000 strikes on "terrorist targets" in the area, he said, adding that the Air Force is carrying out approximately 200 strikes per day using fighter jets, drones, and helicopters.
Meanwhile, E. Defrin noted that the Israeli Navy is preparing to block the Global Sumud Flotilla, a group of approximately 50 vessels scheduled to reach Gaza. He accused the flotilla of being organized and financed by Hamas, stating that Israel has "unequivocal evidence," but did not provide any.
