Palestinians forced to move south from Gaza City on foot
Jerusalem, Undefined – AFP
Thousands of Palestinians are fleeing south from Gaza City on foot, in some cases carrying nothing but the clothes on their back.
The Israeli army has told Palestinians in the north to move south.
Already, more than 1.5 million people in Gaza have fled their homes in search of safety, and the exodus has grown as Israel’s air and ground attacks intensify, according to UN observers.
About 15,000 people fled on Tuesday, compared with 5,000 on Monday and 2,000 on Sunday, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.
