The United Nations had warned last month that the invasion could forcibly displace nearly a million Palestinians living in Gaza City. On Monday (September 15), Israeli military officials estimated that about 320,000 Palestinians have fled the area so far. The operation commenced alongside fresh waves of Israeli strikes, resulting in numerous casualties, including children, flooding already strained hospitals. Local authorities reported dozens of injured Palestinians arriving overnight at facilities such as Al-Shifa and Baptist Hospitals near Gaza City. In August, Israel approved a plan to take control of the heavily bombed city, which it describes as a key remaining stronghold of Hamas.&nbsp;Israel launched intense airstrikes on Gaza City on Tuesday (September 16), with residents reporting homes reduced to rubble and civilians trapped beneath the debris. The escalation followed a visit by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Jerusalem, where he fully endorsed Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s renewed military push against Hamas. Local civil defense officials in Gaza reported that casualties continue to climb, with the southern city of Khan Yunis also hit by Israeli airstrikes, including an attack that killed 49 people the day before.
