Palestinians made their way through Jabalia on Friday (May 16) as they fled areas in northern Gaza following what one man described as "an extremely tragic night".
Israeli strikes on Gaza have killed more than 250 people since Thursday morning (May 15), local health authorities said on Friday, one of the deadliest phases of bombardment since a truce collapsed in March and with a new ground offensive expected soon.
The air and artillery strikes were focused on the northern section of the tiny, crowded enclave, where dozens of people including women and children were killed overnight, said Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Khalil al-Deqran.
Israel has intensified its bombardment and built-up armour along the border despite growing international pressure for it to resume ceasefire talks and end its blockade of Gaza, where an international hunger monitor has warned of famine.
