The operation is intended to establish full control over Gaza City, a densely populated area that previously housed approximately one million residents. The humanitarian situation in Gaza has deteriorated rapidly. Despite the dire circumstances, the Israeli military has attempted to provide evacuation options through temporary corridors and leaflet drops. The combination of intensified military operations in Gaza and ongoing debates over the West Bank has created a highly volatile situation.
