The United Nations is warning that an “even more hellish” scenario is about to unfold in Gaza as the Israeli military intensifies its ground operations in the south.

Unicef says there are “no safe zones” anywhere in Gaza, while the World Health Organisation warns the situation gets “worse by the hour”.

Israel says its troops are in “the heart of Khan Younis” after bombarding the southern city overnight.

Israel also says troops are inside Jabalia, in the north, which was the biggest refugee camp in Gaza.

The IDF says it’s “the most intense day” of fighting since its ground operation began in late October.
