The beleaguered Gaza City population was informed on Friday by Avichay Adraee, the Israeli army’s Arabic-language spokesperson, that the city would be using “unprecedented force” to help residents who are heading south on the now-unlawful al-Rashid coastal road.

People were forced westward toward the coastal road on Friday because of the relentless pace of attacks intended to level up buildings and infrastructure, according to Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum’s “distressing” reports from Gaza City.
According to Abu Azzoum, who is reporting from Nuseirat in central Gaza, “This military operation is completely destroying entire blocks, and there are still families who are trapped underneath the debris of the targeted houses.”
Many Palestinians are unable to afford the cost of renting a car to transport household items and furniture to the overcrowded al-Mawasi area in southern Gaza, despite their earlier resistance.
Despite being designated a “safe zone,” Abu Azzoum claimed that hundreds of people have traveled on foot to al-Mawasi, which has also been the target of Israeli attacks in the past.
On Thursday, Nivin Ahmed, 50, and seven family members traveled from Gaza City’s southern city to Deir el-Balah, where they were staying.
She told the news agency AFP, “We walked more than 15 kilometers [9 miles] and we were crawling from exhaustion.” “My youngest son cried because he was tired. We each dragged a small cart full of belongings at once.
“Dangerous situation on all levels”
Since late August, the Israeli military has reported that about 480, 000 Palestinians have emigrated from Gaza City, while the civil defense agency for Gaza reported on Friday that about 450, 000 have displaced themselves toward the south.
According to estimates from the United Nations, roughly one million people lived in the area’s largest urban center at the time, with about half of the population already emigrating.
However, as of Tuesday, the northern portion of the enclave was estimated to be home to approximately 740, 000 people according to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics.
According to medical sources, Israeli forces have killed 26 people in Gaza City since Friday morning, 43 people in the Strip, including 26 in Gaza City.
According to sources, an Israeli airstrike that targeted a residential building in Gaza City’s Tal al-Hawa, close to the Netzarim Corridor, claimed the lives of three civilians.
Two aid seekers were also killed by the Israeli army in southern Gaza on Friday, according to the death toll.
In the wake of the expanding famine in the region, a medical source from Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza reported to Al-Jazeera that a nine-year-old child had died from severe malnutrition in the hospital’s paediatric ward.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry, the most recent case brings the total number of deaths caused by Israel’s man-made famine to 441 since the start of the war.
According to Amjad Shawa, the head of the Palestinian NGOs Network in Gaza, hospitals are having to deal with the lack of fuel that has been supplying the Strip for more than ten days.
He claimed that the besieged enclave’s fuel supply would only last 72 hours, which indicates a “dangerous situation on all levels.”
