The “evacuation” of civilians south Gaza is a trail of bombs and death. Media sharply about Israel's actions

The escape of civilians from the besieged city of Gaza, called by Israel “evacuation”, is the trail of bombs and death – says the Israeli daily “Haarec”. A journey to the south for one family costs $ 3500. For many people, escape is a choice between the risk of attacks and the lack of basic conditions for life – adds Times of Israel.

When Israeli attacks turn more Gaza districts into rubble, residents face an impossible choice – stay in a bombarded city or pay a higher and higher price to run south – writes “Haarec” in the report published on Thursday.

– The cost of traveling one family from Gaza to the center or south exceeds $ 3500, 1000 for transport, tent or provisional shelter costs the same, even if you have your own tent, you pay $ 500 for its place for its placement – 34 -year -old Jamal Kadir told Gazeta, who escapes with the city with his wife, four children and a disabled mother.

From Gaza to the Palestinian territory of Deir Al -Balah, located in the center of Palestinian, it is about 14 km, to Chan Junus in the south – 25 km. Those who do not have money to pay for the transport are walking on a crowded and corkled road on foot.

This is how Kadira's family also overcame this path. They walked south for six hours. – I pushed my mother's wheelchair, and my wife carried one of the children, because when one of them tired, we took them in arms for 10 minutes, later we changed; We couldn't stop – the man reported.

Kadir noted that it was not the first displacement. At the beginning of the war, in the autumn of 2023, he left Gaza with his family and moved to the south, after more than a year he returned to the city, now he has to run away again. He added that during his first escape, the inhabitants of the South accepted refugees with open arms, now for their help, in this place for a tent, they demand “money out of this world.”

According to the UN, from the beginning of Israel's war with Hamas, i.e. autumn 2023, about 90 percent. residents of Palestinian territory became internal refugees. Many families had to run away from the war several times. Most of the population of the Gazaus zone lives in tent towns, because 78 percent all buildings are damaged or damaged.

Israel began a land invasion of gauze on Tuesday, located in the north the largest city of Palestinian territory. The Israeli government emphasizes that Gaza is a bastion of Hamas and its acquisition is necessary to overcome this terrorist organization. According to the army, several thousand fighters of this group remain there. About 20 still living Israeli hostages are probably hidden in this area.

The army ordered the entire population of the city to evacuate south. According to plans, only Hamas fighters cut off from other areas, which will make the fight easier.

It is estimated that before the start of the offensive in Gaza there were about 1 million of 2.1 million all residents of the Gaza Strip. According to the Israeli army, over 400,000 left gauze until Wednesday. people. UN ratings speak of 238 thousand. Both statistics show that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians remain in a besieged city.

“Evacuation” is the euphemism used by the Israeli army, the escape of people from Gaza takes place under constant fire – commented “Haarec”, calculating a series of fatal attacks, in which Palestinians escaping from Gaza also died. According to the authorities controlled by Hamas, dozens of people die every day in Israeli attacks for weeks.

Aid organizations, including UN agencies, have long been alerting that the displacement of the city will worsen the tragic situation of civilians, affected by the deepening humanitarian crisis, including hunger. The reports emphasize that not all Gaza residents have the physical opportunity to escape, because among them are, among others Patients or people with disabilities.

Another problem is the lack of space and basic infrastructure in places where, according to the Israeli army, civilians should go, as well as the fact that even the so -called Safe humanitarian zones are the target of attacks.

There is not only the tents themselves, but also the areas where they could be erected – wrote the Times of Israel portal. According to the report of the United Nations Bureau for the coordination of humanitarian aid (Ocha) of September 10, for each person in the south of the Gaza Zone, there is half a square meter of living space.

As informed by UN agency, which provides shelter, 1.4 million inhabitants of the Gaza Strip need tents or other form of ad hoc accommodation. To transport the necessary materials you need 3500 trucks. Currently, 86 thousand are waiting for the entrance to Israel. tents. In recent weeks, humanitarian transports have mainly carried food because of concern about the development of hunger.

Only 208 tents were delivered between mid -August and the beginning of September. The Israeli authorities told Times of Israel that in the first two weeks of September about 14,000 entered. tents.

The small study of one of the aid organizations shows that most of the inhabitants of Gaza wanted to escape from the city after the announcement of Israeli warnings, but she did not know where to go, she had no means for it and she was afraid that where they would escape they would not be safe.

– Hamas is both in the north and south, even in the so -called safe humanitarian zones, so Israel bombed these places; So we are exposed to attacks everywhere – said Times of Israel one of the inhabitants of Gaza, explaining why he did not decide to leave the city.

The employee of Ocha Os Olha, who was in Deir al-Balah, told journalists that many of the inhabitants of Gaza, who recently escaped south, could not find shelter, so they returned to the attacked city.

The Israeli authorities ensure that the purpose of the offensive are terrorists, not civilian Palestinian population and take action to protect it. On Wednesday, the army opened an additional route for two days, which the inhabitants of Gaza can run south. It was also informed, among others on the extension of zones intended for tent towns and the expansion of infrastructure for refugees.
