Almost 200,000 Palestinians displaced by latest Israeli military offensive

A new wave of mass displacement is redrawing the landscape of Gaza.

A picturesque harbor is now blanketed in tents. A building belonging to the Qatari diplomatic mission is now a refugee camp.

Nearly 180,000 Palestinians have been on the move seeking new shelter since Israel launched an intensified military offensive two weeks ago, a United Nations-led humanitarian group said Tuesday.

Israel's military has ordered the evacuations, saying its ultimate aim is to capture 75% of the territory, send civilians to a zone in the south secured by its forces, and defeat the Palestinian militant group Hamas after more than a year and a half of war.

Hunger and death also hang over Gaza's 2.1 million residents, as Israel is allowing small amounts of food into the territory, and increasing its airstrikes.

One strike early Monday set ablaze a Gaza City school where newly displaced families were sheltering. It killed more than 30 people including at least 18 children, a Gaza rescue group said. Israel's military said it targeted Hamas militants plotting attacks there.

"We found body parts and everyone screaming on fire," said Jamalat Abdelaal, who came running from her tent nearby, trying to help. "Children. What did they do?"
