The Israeli military has issued so many evacuation orders in 10 months of onslaught that many Gaza civilians no longer heed them, despairing of finding space or safety in the shrinking “humanitarian” zones, AFP reports.

Over the first three weeks of August, the Israeli army sent out 11 evacuation orders via flyers dropped from planes, text messages or social media. They called on 250,000 Gazans, almost all of whom had been displaced at least once already, to leave their place of shelter.

“The Israeli army will operate with force against terrorist organisations in this area. For your safety, we urge you to evacuate immediately,” read one such order sent out Thursday in the southern province of Khan Younis.

“Every time we arrive somewhere, we get a new evacuation order two days later. This is no way to live,” Haitham Abdelaal told AFP.

Amneh Abu Daqqa, 45, said she saw no point in moving again, so few were the options for safe haven. “To go where?” asked the displaced mother of five.

“I live on the street, literally. I don’t have 500 shekels ($133) to rent a donkey-pulled cart. And I don’t even know where I’d go,” she said.

“There is nowhere safe, there are air strikes everywhere”.
