Khan Younis resident Ahmed al-Bairam said there was no time to take anything, following the Israeli military’s orders for people to leave the eastern part of the war-torn city in southern Gaza.

“God knows where we will go tomorrow,” he told Reuters, speaking of his latest displacement by the Israeli military.

“We came from the eastern area then we moved to the European hospital, then we went to Rafah, then we came back to Bani Suheila, then we returned to Nasser Hospital and now we just went up the Somood camp,’ Al-Bairam said of his search to find safety for his family from Israeli attacks.

“It is tiring, tiring, tiring. This time we did not take anything with us. There is no time to carry anything,” he said.

“There is no transportation, basically. I have children with me and they all walk.”
