At least 14,128 Palestinians, including 5,840 children, have been killed in Gaza since 7 October, according to the Palestinian health authority.

For weeks, Israel has threatened northern residents to relocate south for "safety" or risk getting bombed themselves. However, according to the UN, some 160,000 people have opted to remain in the north, as nowhere is deemed safe in the Strip.

The army has recently intensified its bombing in the south, and is ordering civilians to relocate, once more, leaving them in fear of having no safe areas to go to.

Around three-quarters of Gaza's population, some 1.7 million people, have been displaced since 7 October, with many seeking refuge in UN-run schools and in hospitals.

However, the Israeli army has bombed hospitals, schools, mosques, churches and other civilian structures. In northern Gaza, all hospitals are now totally out of service, the health ministry said, with many still housing patients and displaced people.
