The army tramples everything ahead of it; 640,000 have already left

As Al Jazeera previously reported, the Israeli army detonated military vehicles loaded with explosives in the neighborhoods of Tal al-Hawa and Sabra in Gaza City.

Three houses were hit by Israeli attacks in the Shati refugee camp, where dozens of people are trapped under the rubble because members of the Civil Protection cannot retrieve the bodies.

Military operations are intensifying, especially in the city of Gaza, in the last hours, according to Qatari television.

Israeli troops are advancing slowly, cautiously and under the fire support of Israeli infantry, fighter jets, drones and quadcopters.

There are still people trapped in Gaza City.

They don't have the means to cover the transportation costs to go south, and they don't have anywhere to go.

640,000 people have already left the city

About 640,000 Palestinians have so far left Gaza City and gone to the south of the Gaza Strip, according to the latest estimates from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

An estimated one million Palestinians lived in Gaza City before the IDF launched a major offensive against Hamas in the area, The Times of Israel reports.

Civilians were ordered to evacuate to the Israeli-designated humanitarian zone in southern Gaza.
