Although the Israeli army has urged civilians in the northern Gaza Strip to migrate south to avoid its planned offensive, around 30,000 displaced people have decided to turn back, according to the UN. However, some are unable to reach their homes in the north due to intense bombardment. The UN humanitarian affairs coordinator for the Palestinian territories, Lynn Hastings, warned on Thursday that “no place is safe (in the Strip) Gaza“, due to Israeli bombings. Asked by AFP about its strikes in the south after having ordered civilians in the north to head there for their own safety, the IDF did not react immediately.
In its human toll dating from October 25 at 6:00 p.m. in the Gaza Strip and which is lower than that of Hamas on October 26, the diplomatic representation of Palestine to the European Union (EU), Belgium and Luxembourg reports 6,400 deaths including 2,500 children, 1,119 women, 59 medical personnel, 61 teachers, 29 United Nations employees and 18 journalists.
