Images have emerged from Gaza showing dozens of Palestinian men on their knees, stripped to their underwear and with their hands bound, being held by Israeli forces.

It’s not clear if the prisoners have surrendered or have been detained by the Israeli military. Some are pictured being loaded into Israeli army trucks.

Israeli has not said who the men are but has confirmed that its forces are making arrests in Gaza.

It comes as tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians stream into Rafah city near the border with Egypt, trying to escape the war in Gaza.

The United Nations head of humanitarian affairs says there is no longer any humanitarian operation worthy of the name in the south of Gaza.
