IDF tells residents of Gaza City to flee south but closes Salah al-Din road evacuation route
Agence France-Presse (AFP) footage from the Al-Rashid coastal road on Thursday showed long lines of Palestinians heading south on foot or in vehicles piled high with meagre belongings.
In western Gaza City on Friday, displaced Palestinian Sami Baroud described “relentless and intense shelling”. “Our life has become nothing but explosions and danger,” the 35-year-old told AFP by telephone. Baroud added:
We have lost everything – our lives, our future, our sense of safety. How can I evacuate when I can’t even afford transportation?
My seven children and I are still living in tents in western Gaza City after [Israel] bombed our home.
The bombing hasn’t stopped, and at any moment, we expect a missile to fall on us. My children are terrified, and I don’t know what to do.
