Thousands trapped as Israeli military issues evacuation orders for residents to move towards the south of the enclave.
At least 22 people, including women and children, have been killed in an Israeli attack on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza as Israeli forces press on with their ground assault in the area.
As the death toll mounted on Saturday, the Israeli military issued evacuation orders for northern Gaza issuing instructions for residents near Jabalia to evacuate to the south of the enclave.
The Israel military launched a deadly offensive in the Jabalia area a week ago which it claims is aimed at stopping Palestinian group Hamas from regrouping. The attacks have trapped thousands of Palestinian civilians, international charity Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, said.
Palestinian news agency Wafa reported on Saturday that Israeli fighter jets bombed a multistorey apartment block in Jabalia on Friday night, hitting four inhabited homes and killing 22 people.
At least 30 people were injured, and 14 people remain missing and are believed to be buried under the rubble, according to Wafa.
