00:09new sweeping evacuation orders covering most of the city and nearby areas.

00:15The chief of UNRWA, the UN agency helping Palestinian refugees, said that roughly 140,000

00:21people are impacted by the orders, which indicate the Israeli military could soon launch another

00:26major ground operation there.

00:29Meanwhile, the Israeli military continued its ongoing ground operation in the north

00:33of Gaza, and claimed it killed 50 Hamas militants there.

00:38Israel ended a ceasefire with Hamas, renewing its air and ground war earlier this month.

00:44It also cut off all supplies of food, fuel, medicine and humanitarian aid to the enclave.

00:51The Israeli military refused to withdraw its troops from the Rafa border crossing, as agreed

00:55in the ceasefire deal signed in January, and is instead proposing an alternate deal

01:00for another temporary ceasefire.

01:03Hamas has insisted on implementing the signed agreement, calling for a lasting ceasefire

01:08and an Israeli pullout in exchange for the release of the remaining hostages.
