Almost 450,000 Palestinians have fled Rafah over the past week, the UN reports. 

"People face constant fatigue, hunger and fear," the UN agency warned of Palestinian refugees. 

The Israeli military says it is continuing "operations against terrorist targets" in the east of the city, where more than a million people have taken refuge.

New Israeli operations in northern Gaza have displaced another 100,000 people.

Israeli troops have returned to the areas of Zeitun and Jabalia, where the army says Hamas has regrouped just five months after it claimed to have dismantled the group's local battalions.

The army ordered civilians to evacuate eastern Rafah and Jabalia for their own safety before the attacks began, but the total displaced in recent days is equivalent to almost a quarter of Gaza's population of 2.3 million.

Israel launched a military campaign to destroy Hamas in response to the group's cross-border attack in southern Israel on October 7, during which an estimated 1,200 people were killed and 252 others were taken hostage.

More than 35,170 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas territory's health ministry. /CNA
