Israel is intensifying its bombing of Gaza City after ordering the evacuation of nearly 1 million residents. Speaking to Al Jazeera, residents report explosions and the destruction of dozens of homes, as well as naval boats joining tanks and jets in Israel’s assault. According to medical sources in Gaza, Israeli strikes have killed 37 Palestinians today, including 24 in Gaza City.

Here’s Mohammed Al-Bayari, who was displaced and sheltering in Gaza City. He borrowed a cart from his neighbor to try and pack his belongings and is now preparing to flee the area with his family.

Mohammed Al-Bayari: “The camp is crowded with displaced people from all the families, from Beit Hanoun, the camp, Jabaliya, Beit Lahia. They all fled. They fled without preparation. The tents were burnt. Most people just fled due to the strike on the bank. It threw us onto the ground. May God make things easier. Only God will help us in this situation.”
