Most bloody was it in Gaza city, where 70 were killed. During the last few days, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been forced to leave the city and tried to make their way south, to what Israel claims is a humanitarian zone.

But many are still stuck and cannot get out because they are either too exhausted or lack the means needed to leave.

Israel's expanded offensive against Gaza city, which began on Monday, includes both air strikes and ground forces where the country wants to take control of the territory's largest city.

Governments around the world have urged Israel to end the offensive with reference to the extensive civilian suffering, which is further exacerbated by the famine that prevails – which has been established by the UN.

Since the war broke out with Hamas' terror attack on October 7, 2023, over 65,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 165,000 injured.
