Israel to stop humanitarian aid drops in Gaza City in coming days – KAN
The number of people in the city who must begin evacuating south is around 800 thousand, according to the report.
Israel will reportedly stop dropping humanitarian aid packages over Gaza City in the coming days, according to a Friday report by KAN, Israel’s public broadcaster.
The report added that Israel will also reduce the flow of aid into the northern part of the Strip, which is done to communicate the message to civilians on the ground that they must begin evacuating south, in light of the IDF’s planned invasion of Gaza City.
The number of people in the city who must begin evacuating south is around 800 thousand, according to the report.
The IDF will reportedly take over the city before Rosh Hashanah, after calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers. The KAN report described that the military’s operation plan will take about two to three months.

On Friday morning, hours before the KAN report, the IDF said that Gaza City had become defined as a full-fledged war zone.
The military added that any special protection it was offering to NGOs no longer applies to Gaza City.
