TRANSCRIPT:
This man in Gaza City is leaving his home behind after the Israeli army issued an evacuation order, which called on people in parts of northern Gaza to move to shelters in the western side of the city.
"This is the tenth time (evacuation). We don’t have blankets or bedding. We can’t walk. Me and my wife have been walking for three hours covering one kilometre. I’m going to search for shelter. I’m searching for shelter every hour now, not every day."
The United Nations has estimated around 280,000 Palestinians are being displaced as a result of Israel announcing a major expansion of military operations in Gaza.
Under the expansion, large areas of the enclave are to be seized and added to its security zones.
Israeli army spokesperson Brigadier General Effie Defrin says 12 senior Hamas figures have been killed since Israeli troops resumed fighting in Gaza.
"Since the return to fighting in the Gaza Strip, we have attacked more than 600 terror targets throughout Gaza. We have eliminated more than 250 terrorists, including 12 senior members of the Hamas terrorist organisation and in its government branch. All of them are terrorists. All of them took part in the October 7th massacre."
Israel has declared it intends to carry out a plan proposed by U-S President Donald Trump, which involves displacing Palestinians from Gaza and moving them to other countries before rebuilding it.
But that plan has been condemned by rights experts, governments abroad, the United Nations and the Palestinian people themselves.
The U-N's High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, says Israel's orders in Gaza do not comply with international humanitarian law.
"I urge the immediate restoration of the ceasefire and unimpeded humanitarian access throughout Gaza. I warn again that there is a high and increasing risk that atrocity crimes are being committed in the occupied Palestinian territory."
The day after declaring their intentions, Israeli forces have carried out multiple airstrikes on a school turned shelter in Gaza.
The health ministry in Gaza says the bodies of 14 children were pulled from the rubble - but Israel says the school was a Hamas command and control centre.
The military gave the same reason for a strike on a U-N clinic that killed 17 people the day earlier, which was witnessed by Khaled Almadhoun.
"We are shocked by this disaster. Little children have been killed. The oldest among them was 10 years old, and the youngest just 10 days old. We have been searching through the rubble for their bodies, and all we can do is pray that Allah takes them into His care. They were all innocent civilians. There were no Hamas militants or weapons here."
As the bombardment continues, the United Nations is demanding an independent investigation into Israel's killing of 15 first responders and medics in southern Gaza.
Volker Turk say the killings raise ongoing concerns of war crimes committed by the Israeli military.
According to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the first team was killed on March 23rd and the rest were killed one by one as they entered Rafah in search of their missing colleagues.
U-N Under-Secretary-General for Safety and Security Gilles Michaud says there is intention behind such attacks.
"These attacks are designed to prevent the UN from helping the most vulnerable, and to prevent them from bearing witness. Impunity for attacks on humanitarian personnel has become the new normal. A pervasive normal. An accepted normal. One perpetuated not only by non-state actors, but also by governments and their proxies."
Israeli officials say they believed nine of the 15 workers were terrorists, without explaining the killing of the other six.
Israel says it will conduct its own investigation but has rejected descriptions calling the attack an 'execution'.
Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, says the war will not end on the UN's timeline.
"It will end when the 59 remaining hostages are released and Hamas is removed from power. There is no easy solution to a terrorist problem. There is no ceasefire agreement that can hold while innocent people remain in captivity. We are dealing with a vicious, sophisticated enemy with no red lines, no limits, no value for human life. We will do all that is necessary to defeat this dark force. We will act with determination until we bring back our hostages. Every single one of them.”
Meanwhile, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting Hungary, despite an outstanding warrant for his arrest over alleged war crimes.
Shortly after the International Criminal Court issued the warrant last November, Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban said the orders would have no effect in Hungary.
Now, Hungary has announced it will withdraw from the International Criminal Court.
Mr Netanyahu says he appreciates Hungary's position because he believes the court is not impartial.
"You've just taken a bold and principled position on the ICC, and I thank you, Victor. This is not only important for us, it's important for all democracies. It's important to stand up to this corrupt organisation that has equated a democracy that is challenged for its very existence by the most horrific terroristic powers on Earth. But the ICC directs its actions against us, fighting a just war with just means. And, of course, not against our tormentors, not really."
There may be more international visits planned.
United States President Donald Trump says he has spoken to Mr Netanyahu this week, and the Israeli Prime Minister may visit the U-S next week.
But protesters continue to gather outside Mr Netanyahu's Likud Party headquarters in Tel Aviv.
The demonstrators, who include family members of hostages held by Hamas, have been gathering almost daily in recent weeks to voice their anger.
Some protesters, like 54-year-old Dan Goren, marched from outside the Hungarian embassy in Tel Aviv, saying they believe the actions Mr Netanyahu are taking is just making everything worse.
"Netanyahu in Hungary? Well, it's one anti-democrat meeting another anti-democrat. Two wannabe dictators meeting each other. It's disgusting. And basically what Bibi Netanyahu wants to do is create Hungary here. He wants to completely destroy our democracy."
