Hundreds of thousands of people remain in Gaza City despite Israeli threats
We are witnessing, seriously, a very deadly surge of air strikes, and a highly calculated and symbolic phase of the current Israeli ground operation in Gaza City.
The military, over the past four days, has been destroying high-rise towers in Gaza City, forcing hundreds of families to flee, looking for an alternative place where they can get some sense of refuge.
But recently, and earlier on Tuesday morning, the Israeli military issued mass evacuation orders for all residents in every single neighbourhood in Gaza City, urging civilians to move into the southern part of Gaza.
The release of these orders has been accompanied by a wide-scale bombing campaign and a continuation of ground activities by the Israeli troops that are operating very close to the heart of Gaza City.
Many families have started to move into the south of the Strip, looking for an empty patch of land in the al-Mawasi area, while there are still hundreds of thousands of people who are determined to stay in Gaza City due to the scarcity of places and their their full awareness that nowhere in Gaza is truly safe.
