Gaza
Thousands of civilians are trapped in Gaza's Jabalia camp as Israeli forces intensify their assault, with Israel claiming the operation is aimed at stopping Hamas from regrouping. According to Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) those trying to leave are "getting shot".
On Friday, airstrikes killed at least 20 Palestinians in Jabalia, and nearby homes were damaged, medics reported. The day's overall death toll across Gaza, as per Reuters, reached 61, with nearly half of the casualties from Jabalia, one of Gaza's largest refugee camps.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) voiced urgent concern, describing the camp as a no-go zone where anyone attempting to leave faces being shot.

"I don't know what to do; at any moment we could die. People are starving," she quoted Haydar, an MSF driver who said he was "afraid to stay, and I am also afraid to leave".
The Israeli military has claimed that its strikes have reportedly killed dozens of militants in the area. However, questions remain about how many of them were civilians.
According to the report, at least 15 of the fatalities in Jabalia were due to Israeli strikes, including on a school where displaced individuals were sheltering, reported the official Palestinian news agency Wafa citing medical sources.
Gaza's Civil Defence said that multiple people were injured by drone fire.
Previously, the military has accused Hamas of using civilian shelters as cover, a charge the group denies.
Humanitarian groups have raised alarms over the growing crisis, as over 400,000 people are reportedly trapped in northern Gaza, with limited options for evacuation. United Nations officials have also expressed concern that Israel's offensive and the evacuation orders in Northern Gaza could disrupt the second phase of its crucial polio vaccination campaign.
