As Israeli troops step up their ground offensive, the United States has claimed that Hamas is blocking the exit of foreign nationals from the besieged city.
At least 200 British citizens are thought to be registered inside the Gaza strip, and some 600 Americans, as well as many other nationalities.

Witnesses said Israeli tanks had advanced to cut the main north-south Salah al-Din road south of Gaza City and were operating on the outskirts of the Zaytun district and Shejaiya neighbourhood of Gaza City.
Video taken by a local journalist was said to show an Israeli tank and bulldozer in central Gaza blocking the main highway and firing on cars, which were seen exploding.
Meanwhile, Israel said it had rescued a female soldier kidnapped during Hamas’s 7 October massacre in southern Israel.
The soldier was named as Ori Megidish, a private who serves as a border observer, who was rescued overnight on Monday in undisclosed circumstances. She was described as in good health following a reunion with her family.
Describing an increased tempo of urban fighting, the Israel Defence Forces spokesperson R Adm Daniel Hagari said Israeli troops were involved in fighting with armed Palestinian factions holed up in buildings.
“Overnight, troops eliminated dozens of terrorists who barricaded themselves in the buildings and tried to attack the forces that were moving in their direction,” he said, adding that fighting was continuing.
In one incident, the Israeli military said a fighter jet had targeted a building “with over 20 Hamas terrorist operatives inside”, while another fighter jet was guided to an anti-tank missile launching post in the area of al-Azhar University, it said. The university is in the heart of Gaza City.
The military also said it had hit “weapons depots, dozens of anti-tank missile launching positions, as well as hideouts and staging grounds used by the Hamas terrorist organisation”.
