STORYLINE:
Smoke was seen rising over the Gaza Strip on Monday as Israel widened evacuation orders.
Gaza health officials said Monday at least 13 people, including two women and five children, were killed in Israeli strikes since the previous night.
There was new alarm as Israel’s military issued evacuation orders for parts of central Gaza, one of the few areas where ground troops have rarely operated and where many international organizations are trying to distribute aid.
Gaza’s population of more than 2 million Palestinians are in a catastrophic humanitarian crisis, now relying largely on the limited aid allowed into the territory.
The war was triggered by Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which left around 1,200 dead and saw 251 people taken hostage.
Israel’s response in Gaza has killed over 58,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
The ministry, which is under Gaza’s Hamas government, does not differentiate between civilians and combatants.
The U.N. and other international organizations see its figures as the most reliable statistics on war casualties.
