The Israeli military has called on residents of northern Gaza to evacuate, warning that areas used to launch rockets will be targeted. The evacuation alert, issued via a post on X by the military’s Arabic-language spokesperson Avichay Adraee, advised residents of neighborhoods northwest of Gaza City and in Jabalia to move south for their safety.
“For your security, evacuate immediately to the south,” the message read, following reports that rockets had been fired from those areas.
Meanwhile, Gaza’s humanitarian crisis continues to worsen. The Palestinian Health Ministry warned on Saturday that fuel supplies for hospitals may run out within three days, with Israel reportedly blocking access to storage areas designated for medical use.
The United Nations has reiterated concerns that most of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents face the risk of famine, with child malnutrition rates nearly tripling during Israel’s 11-week blockade.
Efforts to provide humanitarian relief also remain hindered. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) suspended aid distribution over the weekend, citing threats allegedly made by Hamas—claims which the group has denied.
“The threats made it impossible to proceed today without putting innocent lives at risk,” the GHF said in a statement, adding that it hopes to resume aid delivery “without delay.”
Aid operations were previously halted last week after GHF reported deadly violence at distribution points between June 1–3, where over 80 people were reportedly shot and hundreds injured. Witnesses blamed Israeli forces, though the military said it had fired warning shots and responded to perceived threats.
The Israeli military also reported on Saturday that 350 trucks carrying humanitarian aid from UN and international agencies were transferred via the Kerem Shalom crossing into Gaza during the past week.
The GHF, which began operations in Gaza at the end of May, says it has delivered approximately 9 million meals so far, though the UN has criticized its distribution model as lacking neutrality and impartiality.
