The Israeli military has told civilians in Gaza to move to the south of the besieged territory, where it said humanitarian efforts “will be expanding”.

“Civilians in northern Gaza and Gaza City should temporarily move south of Wadi Gaza to a safer area where they can receive water, food, and medicine,” IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari said in a statement recorded on Saturday, according to AFP.

“Tomorrow, the humanitarian efforts to Gaza, led by Egypt and the United States, will be expanding,” he added.

Although the video was posted on X, formerly Twitter, early Sunday morning, another IDF spokesperson told AFP that the video had been recorded on Saturday, and confirmed the humanitarian efforts would be expanding on Sunday.

Hamas authorities reported Sunday that a “large number” of people were killed overnight in strikes on two refugee camps in northern Gaza.
