Dozens more people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza, according to the Hamas-controlled healthcare system.
Battles are raging on the ground and there are continued air strikes.
The healthcare system in Gaza reports 32 fatalities during the night to Friday, according to a report released in the morning. In these accounts, they usually do not distinguish between combatants and civilians, but most are said to have been women and children.
Battles have continued in both the north and south of Gaza, while mediation efforts for a ceasefire and the release of hostages held by Hamas continue.
Israel describes it as many terrorists having been killed in ground battles and air strikes. The extremist group Hamas' own channels report "over 70" Israeli air strikes against different parts of the Gaza Strip.
Devastated neighborhood
After two weeks of intense battles and attacks on the Shujaiyeh area in the city of Gaza, Israeli forces have moved on to other neighborhoods. There, intense battles are raging against militiamen from the extremist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
On Wednesday, Israel announced that a military operation in Shujaiyeh had been completed and, in connection with this, leaflets were dropped from the air, urging all the city's residents to evacuate. Around 350,000 people are estimated to still be in the war-torn city, which is the largest in the Gaza Strip.
On Thursday, Palestinian authorities reported that at least 60 dead bodies had been found in the rubble after the intense battles in Shujaiyeh. The Palestinian civil defense describes the area as a "disaster zone" and estimates that 85 percent of the previously dense residential area has been reduced to ruins.
"Fear and terror"
Umm Ihab Arafat, one of the city's Gaza residents, follows the leaflets' instructions and tells AFP that she has been forced to evacuate four times so far during the war. She sits with her children on a sand hill, against a backdrop of rubble and buzzing drones in the air.
They (the children) deserve to rest. Their eyes are filled with fear and terror, she says.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) warns that many families are stuck in the urban area and that its aid workers do not have the opportunity to help all the people who need help.
Furthermore, the ICRC emphasizes that residents are being urged to flee south to overcrowded areas where battles are ongoing and there is a shortage of supplies.
Israel's military announced on Friday that operations are also underway in Rafah, the city located near the southern border of the area.
