The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued a notice to Palestinians living in Gaza City to leave and head toward a "humanitarian zone" in Al-Mawasi in Khan Younis, to the south. "Take this opportunity to move early to the (Al-Mawasi) humanitarian zone and join the thousands of people who have already gone there," said IDF spokesman Avichay Adraee. The IDF said there were field hospitals, water pipelines and desalination facilities, food and medicine at the humanitarian zone.
