Israel’s Deadly Attacks on Gaza City Have Left 50,000 Palestinians Without Shelter

HeadlineSep 12, 2025

Palestinian officials say Israel’s ongoing attacks on Gaza City have left more than 50,000 people displaced and without shelter, as Israeli bombs continue to fall on high-rise buildings, flattening the city’s skyline. Medical sources say Israeli attacks have killed at least 42 Palestinians so far today, including 14 members of a single family — three generations wiped out in a single airstrike. Thousands continue to flee Gaza City after Israel ordered the forced displacement of its 1 million inhabitants. This is Abu Tarek Habboub, whose family was forced to trek south along Gaza’s coastline on foot.

Abu Tarek Habboub: “I have nothing. My 10 children and I are walking in the street heading south. We don’t know where we’re going. We don’t have mattresses or blankets. We don’t even have money or anything. … Maybe death would be better than what we’re living through. I have children who slept in the street yesterday.”
