An Israeli delegation is in Egypt to continue Gaza ceasefire talks.

According to a statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, the deputation, headed by Ronen Bar, director of Israel's security bureau, and along with representatives from the Israel Defense Forces, left for Cairo on Thursday

TV reports in Jerusalem suggested the talks would focus on a possible Israeli withdrawal from the Philadelphi Corridor along the border between Gaza and Egypt and the reopening of the Rafah crossing.

The Israeli negotiators had just come back from four-party talks with mediators from Qatar, the USA and Egypt in Doha.

Elsewhere, the International Committee of the Red Cross says Palestinians ordered by the Israeli military to leave Gaza City are lacking essential services.

The ICRC said the evacuation orders affect thousands of families, and, worst still, the orders are often ambiguous, leading to confusion and fear among those scrambling to leave.

They said the grim reality in Gaza today is that nowhere is safe, adding the struggle to simply survive was robbing people of their dignity.

On Wednesday, Israels army airdropped thousands of flyers on Gaza City, insisting all residents to depart immediately amid an deepened Israeli military offensive there.

United Nations statistics estimate at the start of July the number of displaced within Gaza had shot up to 1.9 million.

Earlier, the Jordan Hashemite Charity, in coordination with the Jordan Armed Forces sent 50 lorries of aid to Gaza Strip to reduce the humanitarian catastrophe.

Items included food supplies, medicine, sanitizers, blankets, mattresses, clothes, and footwear. The aid was assembled in cooperation with the World Food Programme and supported by the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, Doctors Without Borders, the Palestinian Medical Relief Society, and others.
