Over a dozen British NGOs on Tuesday accused the UK government of “failing to stand up for international law” after Israeli forces launched a fresh aerial and ground offensive in northern Gaza, laying siege to residential areas and leaving 400,000 civilians trapped there.
The military this week ordered hundreds of thousands of people across northern Gaza to flee south.
However, residents have told Middle East Eye they were not given enough time to leave their homes before Israeli forces encircled some areas. Many reports say those who have attempted to leave have been shot and killed by Israeli forces.
