People walked south from Gaza City, many with nothing but the clothes they wore, while combat raged over a month after the Hamas attacks that killed 1,400 in Israel, sparking the deadliest ever war in Gaza.
According to the Hamas-run health ministry in the besieged territory, the Israeli military campaign has killed more than 10,500 people, many of them children.
The pace of Palestinian civilians fleeing south from northern Gaza has accelerated as Israel’s air and ground campaign has intensified, according to UN observers.
About 15,000 people fled on Tuesday, compared to 5,000 on Monday and 2,000 on Sunday, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said, as another surge was underway on Wednesday.
