The move comes a week after the world’s leading food authority declared Gaza City was in the grips of famine
The Israeli military declared Gaza City “a dangerous combat zone” on Friday, as it prepared to conquer the Palestinian territory’s largest city after almost two years of war.
“Starting today (Friday), at 10.00am, the local tactical pause in military activity will not apply to the area of Gaza City, which constitutes a dangerous combat zone,” the military said in a statement, referring to daily pauses in certain areas aimed at facilitating aid distribution.
The military did not call for the population to evacuate immediately, but the army’s Arabic-language spokesman, Avichay Adraee, said on Wednesday that the city’s evacuation was “inevitable”.
