At least 61 people have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn on Thursday, including 19 aid seekers, medical sources told Al Jazeera, as residents report intensified military bombardment of the eastern and southern neighborhoods of Gaza City.

The Israeli military has been preparing to take Gaza City, the enclave’s largest urban Centre, despite international calls to reconsider the move over fears that the operation would cause significant casualties and displace the roughly one million Palestinians sheltering there.
