The United Nations has said an estimated 150,000 Palestinians are being forced to flee areas of central Gaza, as Israeli forces advance on refugee camps there.

Witnesses and Hamas’s armed wing reported that tanks had reached the eastern outskirts of Bureij camp.
The Israeli military has called for the evacuation of a strip of land stretching across central Gaza that includes Bureij and Nuseirat camps, and told the almost 90,000 residents and 61,000 displaced people in the affected areas to move southwardsm to the town of Deir al-Balah.

However, the UN warned on Thursday that they had nowhere to go because Deiral-Balah was already overcrowded, with several hundred thousand displaced people sheltering there.
