HIGHLIGHTS

  • On 16 September, Israel launched the main stage of its ground operation into Gaza City, following weeks of heavy air and sea bombardment and earlier ground attacks. Despite Israel’s evacuation order for all of Gaza City on 9 September, directing almost one million people to move southward, many residents are unable to relocate due to lack of means or available space in the south.

  • The closure of Zikim crossing on 12 September has significantly impacted the delivery of humanitarian cargo, with the last uplift on 11 September. A border crossing to the north must be opened urgently to ensure humanitarian access.
