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.”
