“Palestinians woke up to endless explosions, artillery shelling and air strikes, especially in Shujayea and Jabalia”, Hind Khoudary reports for Al Jazeera from Deir el-Balah, Gaza.

“These areas are where Israeli forces just issued an evacuation threat, calling Palestinians in the eastern Gaza City to evacuate to the western part where most Palestinians are currently displaced.

“Israel targeted a house in al-Shati refugee camp where at least five Palestinians from the same family were killed and dozens were wounded. This area is one of the most densely populated areas because it is a refugee camp and many from the northern part of Gaza are seeking refuge and putting their tent in that area,” she said.

“And despite the displacement order calling on Palestinians to move to the western part of Gaza city, that area is also being targeted.

“They are also struggling to find food and with these continuous evacuation threats they are left with no options. Wherever they go they are still being targeted.”
