Israel to establish two aid centres in southern Gaza amid expected Gaza City takeover

Israel announced Wednesday that it will establish two additional humanitarian aid distribution centres in the southern Gaza Strip to serve Palestinians displaced by its planned military takeover of Gaza City.

The military said the centres would be completed in the coming days, bringing the total number of distribution sites to five.

According to the Gaza Health Ministry, more than 313 Palestinians, including 119 children, have died from malnutrition and starvation under Israel’s blockade.
