The Israeli military has told Palestinians that the evacuation of Gaza City is "inevitable", as its forces prepare to conquer it.
In a post on X on Wednesday, the military's Arabic spokesman Avichay Adraee said families relocating to the south would "receive the most generous humanitarian aid".
Israeli tanks pushed into a new area of Gaza City overnight, forcing more residents to flee, witnesses said. Thousands have already moved because of recent Israeli advances - mostly to other parts of the city, where about a million Palestinians still live.
The evacuation call comes as US President Donald Trump is expected to chair a meeting on a post-war vision for Gaza at the White House.
In early August, Israel announced plans to occupy the whole Gaza Strip - including Gaza City, which it described as Hamas's last stronghold.
