Israel has intensified strikes on Gaza City, killing at least 40 Palestinians on Friday, despite many residents refusing evacuation orders due to having nowhere safe to go. This escalation occurs as Israel aims to take full control of the city to eliminate Hamas.

• At least 64,000 people, mostly civilians, have died in Gaza from Israel's military assault.
• Israel is expanding its "Crossing 147" to allow up to 150 aid trucks per day into southern Gaza.
• An estimated 10% of people in Gaza City have left since Israel announced its plan a month ago.
