Israel Last To move people in northern Gaza, a new wave of despair among Palestinian citizens has caused in the territory, many of whom have been displaced several times since the war.
The relocation plan would aggravate a serious humanitarian situation in Gaza, where Has risen Since Israel imposed a blockage on help for assistance in March Warn this week From a “growing humanitarian catastrophe.”
“We don’t even want to hear the word” evacuation “anymore,” said Anes Jneed, 31, a displaced Palestinian who lives in an improvised hiding place in northern Gaza. Mr. JNEED said his family had been displaced at least six times since the War started in October 2023.
“Movement means dead, humiliation, homelessness,” Mr. Jneeed added.
Mr. Jneeed was probably one of the first affected by Israel’s plan to catch large parts of Gaza and to force those who live there to the south. The Israeli authorities said on Monday that they call in tens of thousands of military reservists to carry out the expansion of the war. Israeli leaders say that they hope that the Hamas campaign will put pressure to compromise with jammed negotiations on ceasefires, and release the hostages that it still has in Gaza.
Israel’s announcement has had the opposite effect, at least in the first instance. A spokesperson for Hamas said Tuesday That the group was no longer interested in participating in cease-fire negotiations.
All this has contributed to a deeper sense of gloom among Gazan citizens. Wafa Al-Ghouty, 35, an accountant and mother of five, said she had been displaced seven times since the start of the war. She is now in a tent in a coastal area in the south of Gaza.
“The situation is extremely challenging, not only because of the repeated displacement, but because of the hunger and the helplessness not to even offer bread,” said Mrs. Al-Ghouty in an interview. “Every time we settled, we are forced to move again.”
Mrs. Al-Ghouty said she intended to cook her last bag of pasta within 24 hours. “Sometimes we are so focused on survival – finding food and medicine for the children – that we miss the news,” she said. “But this announcement struck like a lightning bolt.” She said she had already wrapped a small bag with the clothing of her children and important documents, which canceled for what could come.
Almost two months have passed since Israel the ceasefire in Gaza in March, and resumed his military campaign After the discussions of the hot-fire have been demolished. The renewed attack has brought almost daily air strikes and escalating ground activities, resulting in thousands of deaths and injuries. According to the United Nations, more than 1.9 million people – the majority of the Gaza population – have been displaced since the war began.
The humanitarian situation has deteriorated considerably in recent weeks because of the blockade of Israel about assistance. Most bakeries are no longer operational, food supplies are exhausted and medical supplies are critically low. Israel has argued that the blockade is legal and that Gaza still has sufficient available provisions.
Mr. JNEED said he had trouble offering basic needs for his two children. The family now only survives one meal a day.
“Every hour that passes is worse than it earlier,” he said.
