The front page of Al-Arabiya News reported that Gaza City is facing a new wave of attacks, with the death toll exceeding 63,000.
The largest flotilla hopes to pressure Israel to end the blockade, and the United States will refuse to issue visas to Palestinian officials.
Israel declared the largest city in Gaza as a dangerous war zone, and on Friday recovered the bodies of two hostages, at a time when the army launched the "initial phase" of an offensive plan that has been condemned by the international community.
When the military announced the resumption of combat, health officials said the death toll in Gaza has risen to 63,025, with 59 additional deaths reported by hospitals in the past 24 hours.
Aid organizations and a church that shelters people said they would remain in Gaza City, refusing to abandon the hungry and displaced people who depend on them.
This shift came weeks after Israel first announced an expanded attack plan on the city, when hundreds of thousands of people were suffering from famine while seeking shelter.
On Friday, smoke was visible and explosions could be heard along the southern border of Israel. Despite the condemnation of the announcement of the offensive by UN agencies and aid organizations, residents of Gaza City said it made no difference: the attacks have intensified, and the aid they receive is insufficient.
Mohammed Abu Al-Hadi, a city resident, said it makes no difference. "The massacre has never stopped, even during periods of humanitarian ceasefire," he said in a text message.
