Fears for civilians in Gaza spiral as Israel strikes supposedly safe south Gaza and increases attacks in the north, while the UN warns the level of aid falls well short of what's needed to stave off a humanitarian disaster.
Israel will increase its strikes on Gaza, its military has warned, as airstrikes rained down on south Gaza, an area Israel had said would be safer. Israel's military spokesman, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, said the country planned to step up its air strikes starting on Saturday in preparation for the next stage of the war. 'We will deepen our attacks to minimise the dangers to our forces in the next stages of the war.
Hospitals, schools and shelters have all been devastated by airstrikes as Israel attempts to root out Hamas, with expectations of a ground offensive mounting. The United Nations and Hamas warned the food, water and medical supplies were just a fraction of what is needed in the strip, which had already been under siege for 16 years before this war broke out. The head of the UN's World Food Program, Cindy McCain, called the situation 'catastrophic'.
