Almost 100 strikes have been conducted in the 'humanitarian zone' in Gaza, according to BBC Verify. The zone was established by the IDF in 2023 to protect residents, but has been significantly expanded since. The densely populated area is estimated to have over a million people living there, with limited infrastructure and access to aid. The IDF claims to be targeting Hamas fighters in the zone, accusing them of violating international law and using civilians as human shields.
