Israeli army tells civilians in north Gaza to evacuate as it blocks exit point
What we are going through right now in Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabalia refugee camp is a massacre, as the Israeli army is bombing the Beit Lahiya project relentlessly. Right now, the hospital is receiving casualties from Beit Lahiya.
On the other side here, there are people who escaped from the attacks and arrived at the hospital since they could not find any safe place in the Jabalia refugee camp.
The Israeli army ordered civilians to flee their homes and dropped leaflets on Beit Hanoon and Jabalia refugee camps, telling them to do so. At the same time, the army is blocking the way out. We are all trapped here. We don’t know what will happen in the next hours.

Palestinians fleeing sites of Israel’s renewed military operation in northern Gaza are being shot at as they evacuate, according to residents there and footage shared with CNN documenting their journey.
Mohammad Sultan, 28, said he and his family fled their house in Jabalya in northern Gaza “due to the intense and continuous bombardments in the area.” When he went back to retrieve food, water and blankets, he and other civilians were fired at, he said.
“Drones were firing at everyone passing by on the road,” Sultan told CNN. “Three people were shot right in front of me. My brother and I tried to help the injured get to the hospitals, but a little girl was shot in the neck, and her father was also injured.”
The shooting took place at Abu Sharkh roundabout in Jabalya, according to Sultan. CNN has reached out to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for comment.
Footage taken by Sultan during his journey shows residents walking along a sandy road, surrounded by rubble and half-destroyed buildings. Some, including children, are on foot, struggling to walk with heavy bags. Others are on bicycles or tuk-tuks.
Drones can be heard buzzing in the background as the bullwhip-like sound of bullets piercing the air trigger screams and attempts to shelter.
