Around 30,000 Palestinians flee northern Gaza

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) said in its latest report that an estimated 30,000 Palestinians fled northern Gaza on Friday after being forcibly removed by Israel's ground operation.

The Palestinians left through a "corridor" opened by the Israeli military on 10 November, Ocha said in the report on early Saturday morning. The UN agency also reported that several explosions were recorded in that corridor, "resulting in fatalities and injuries, among those fleeing".
