Meanwhile, according to an AFP (France) news agency employee in the city, it is now possible to use the Internet and contact people in southern Gaza by phone from about after 4am local time (2am GMT).
In another development on the same day, the Israeli military (IDF) advised civilians in the Gaza Strip to move south of the besieged territory - where humanitarian efforts "will be expanded".
“Civilians in northern Gaza and Gaza City should temporarily move south of Wadi Gaza to safer areas where they can receive water, food and medicine. Tomorrow, humanitarian efforts to Gaza – led by Egypt and the United States – will be expanded,” said IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari.
According to a video posted on social media X earlier in the day, another IDF spokesperson confirmed that humanitarian efforts would be expanded on October 29.
