Israel's army has urged Palestinians in Gaza City to move to a designated humanitarian area in the south. Meanwhile, an ailing Palestinian toddler recovers in Italy.

The Israeli military told Palestinians in Gaza City to leave for the south on Saturday before bombing a high-rise tower as its forces advance deeper into the enclave's largest urban area.

The Israeli military issued evacuation orders for residents in the high-rise towers and urged Palestinians to move to the south of Gaza, as it intensifies its offensive on the city.
