US EditionPalestinians Flee as Gaza Surge Continues
The Israeli military intensified operations against Hamas in Gaza City, prompting nearly 48,000 Palestinians to flee southward amid ongoing conflict, UN officials reported.
- On September 16, 2025, nearly 48,000 displaced Palestinians fled northern Gaza toward south Gaza amid an Israeli ground assault on Gaza City and intense air strikes.
- The mass displacement followed an Israeli offensive that began Monday with more than 150 air strikes, targeting high-rise towers allegedly used by Hamas to observe troops.
- Israeli troops advanced deeper into Gaza City despite warnings from some military commanders that the assault risked hostages’ safety and could be a death trap for soldiers.
- Gaza's Health Ministry reported the death toll climbed to 65,062, while Defense Minister Israel Katz stated ‘‘Gaza is burning’’ on social media amid ongoing bombardments.
- The continued fighting caused severe humanitarian impacts including communication blackouts and widespread destruction, prompting calls for ceasefire and new EU sanctions on Israel.
