Palestinians moving away from Gaza City to the south.

Thousands of Palestinians  leavethe city ofGaza and are marching to the south of the settlement  these days, with all their belongings on top, aware that as a result of Israel's continued bombings they can die on the road.     

"The places we go are not safe, they bomb the population, both those who leave the city of Gaza and those who return. Only because they say there's a person they're looking for. Whether they're looking for someone or not, they bomb the area the same way, "says Adib Abderrahman Selim.

Along with many other families, Al Rashid has sunk into the road, Selim, eta certifies that ez is leaving voluntarily, but forced by the continued destruction of Israeli troops, drones and fighters.

According to data from the rescue teams, some 53,000 Palestinians have lost their homes or shops in the Gaza City in less than a week, following the systematic destruction of buildings, including 12 towers of more than seven floors.

In this context, the United Nations (UN) has counted more than 73,500 displacements from north to south of the Gaza Strip along the Al Rashid coastal road since 14 August and about 25,000 since 7 September.  

Selim regrets having to leave "most" of his property in the city of Gaza, and what he fears most, he says, is that once they arrive in Al Mawasi they will have a life of what; although Israel regards it as a "humanitarian zone", there are also bombings in that area south of .

This very Friday, Israel launched an attack on a shop near a desalination plant, resulting in a total of 27 people injured. In addition, making this route in a vehicle costs more than 3,000 sequels (about 760 euros), to which must be added fatigue, thirst and exhaustion of nearly two years of massacres.

"Suffering has gripped the whole town. It's a very difficult situation."

Since October 2023, more than 64,700 Palestinians, including 19,000 children, have been killed in the long-considered genocide offensive by NGOs, UN correspondents and experts.
