"Mass Exodus: Israeli Troops Clash with Palestinian Militants, Forcing Thousands to Flee Northern Gaza"

The UN aid agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, announced that its fuel reserves in Gaza have run dry, leading to a halt in relief efforts and communication services. Israel has refused to allow fuel shipments into Gaza, accusing Hamas of diverting fuel for its own use. Fighting between Israeli troops and Palestinian militants has caused mass displacement, with over two-thirds of Gaza's population fleeing their homes. Hospitals are struggling to operate without electricity and supplies, and Israel alleges that Hamas is using hospitals as cover for its fighters. The UN Security Council is negotiating a resolution for extended humanitarian pauses, while Israel's defense minister warns that the war will take many months to complete. Protests demanding a cease-fire have taken place in various locations, and the US has imposed sanctions on Hamas officials.
