Israeli attacks kill 63 across Gaza as
troops push deeper into Gaza City
Health authorities say eight more Palestinians, including two children, die of starvation after famine declared in Gaza.
At least 63 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza, medical sources tell Al Jazeera, as Israeli forces push deeper into Gaza City as part of their effort to seize the city and forcibly displace about one million people.
Al Jazeera Arabic obtained footage on Saturday showing Israeli tanks advancing into the Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City, signalling an expansion of the military’s ground invasion of the area.
