The Israeli army has given civilians in the Gaza Strip a new time window to flee to the south of the coastal region.
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said they would allow traffic on a southbound road between 10 am and 2 pm on Sunday, a spokesman wrote on the X platform, formerly Twitter, on Saturday evening.
The army also published a map showing the designated road.
The post, in Arabic, said in part "If you care about yourself and your loved ones, head south according to our instructions."
The spokesman called on people to take the next opportunity to head south for their own safety.
Israel's army had already repeatedly called on people in the north to flee to the south of the sealed-off coastal strip. According to the military, at least 700,000 people have already done so.
However, earlier there appeared to be a halt to the departure of injured Palestinians as well as foreigners and Palestinians with dual citizenship from the Gaza Strip.
A source close to the Egyptian Red Crescent confirmed to the DPA news agency that employees of the Palestinian Red Crescent had been ordered by the authorities to stop transporting wounded Palestinians for the time being.
Security sources in Egypt said the Palestinians were calling for safe routes for ambulances carrying the wounded from the Gaza Strip to the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.
Security sources in Gaza also said that foreigners will not leave the Gaza Strip until the wounded can be brought to Egypt.
The United Kingdom's Foreign Office said it was pressing for the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt to be reopened after it "temporarily closed" on Saturday.
"This continues to be a complex and challenging situation and we are using all diplomatic channels to press for its reopening in co-ordination with our international partners," a statement said.
On Friday, an ambulance outside al-Shifa Hospital was hit in an Israeli attack.
The Hamas-controlled Health Ministry and the Palestinian Red Crescent said wounded people were being transported to the Rafah crossing so they could be treated in Egypt.
According to the Israeli military, the Islamist Hamas had used the ambulance and several militants are said to have been killed in the attack.
