After the start of Israel’s large-scale military operation, thousands of families in Gaza City were forced to leave in search of safety. Following the army’s confirmation of the ground incursion, many set out in cars and trucks, while others are walking.
Residents say they are only allowed to use the al-Rashid coastal road. Long queues have formed across the city, while airstrikes continue. Many people have been forced to sell jewelry to cover daily expenses.
The UN and Germany’s foreign minister strongly criticized the operation. The US Secretary of State gave vague support to Israel’s actions. The international community is expressing concern over the consequences of the assault.
Local residents describe the nightly airstrikes, artillery, and helicopter fire as “hell”. They say entire neighborhoods have been destroyed, with many killed or injured.
