Israel's Defense Minister: 900,000 Palestinians have been displaced from Gaza City

Israel Katz

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Sunday that the military offensive in Gaza City has so far displaced approximately 900,000 Palestinians. 

"The decision to occupy Gaza, the demolition of high-rise buildings and the maneuvers of Israeli forces in the city have led to the displacement of some 900,000 residents to the south, putting great pressure on Hamas and the countries that support it ," Katz said in a speech in Jerusalem.

Before the start of Israeli military operations in the city, which is located in the northern part of the Palestinian territory, the UN estimated the number of people living in Gaza City and its surroundings at around one million. The Israeli army is conducting operations in Gaza City against militants from the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas. /CNA
