00:00The life of the Palestinians in Gaza has become painful and unbearable after 10 months of
00:05constant siege by the Israeli occupation forces.
00:09More details in the following report by our correspondent Huda Ghasi.
00:15I have moved to the east of the governorate of Deir al-Bala in the center of the Gaza
00:19Strip and I am in the street of Salad Hadin.
00:22This is an area that in the early hours of the morning along with different zones in
00:26the east of the governorate of Khan Younes, such as the area of al-Harare and the area
00:31of the city of Hamad, have been warned by the Israeli army that they must evacuate and
00:36vacate immediately.
00:38These areas would be the target of bombardment and would be considered a battle zone as the
00:43Israeli army will begin in them.
00:45The Israeli army warned them to evacuate and leave immediately as these areas would be
00:50the target of bombing and would be considered a battle zone once the Israeli army begins
00:54a military operation in them at this very moment.
00:58Therefore, this area is already considered a red zone, a danger zone.
01:05And, as we can see through our screens, Gazans have already started to evacuate.
01:12They are at this moment removing the tents.
01:16They are clearing their houses and even the schools where they were installed, to go to
01:20areas that are supposed to be humanitarian zones.
01:23However, this area, east of Deir al-Bala was previously a humanitarian zone, a safe zone,
01:34where thousands of Gazans were evacuated.
01:39But now, at this moment, this place is no longer safe and Gazans must leave immediately.
01:47As we are seeing, the evacuation process is being very complicated.
01:56Gazans can hardly find any means of transport to evacuate and many of them are even resorting
02:01to flee by horse carriage, by donkey and even walking.
02:06And, as we have heard earlier, that is the sound of tanks firing artillery shells very
02:13close to where we are and therefore Gazans must leave this place immediately as it is
02:18considered a dangerous area and could be bombed at any time.
02:22As we can see, this is one of the families that is trying to evacuate from this area
02:27at the moment as it is not safe at all.
02:30And now we will talk to her about where she is going and what she has planned.
02:40Leaving northern Gaza is the worst decision we have ever taken.
02:43I am very nervous and tense at the moment and I don't know what to do or how to talk.
02:48My mind can't take in everything that is happening.
02:51Where are the Arab people and the Islamic countries, why are they not watching and why
02:55are they not doing anything?
02:57We die every day, we are far from our families, I haven't seen my only sister for a year,
03:02I don't know anything about her.
03:04I evacuated suddenly, I was in the area of Bait Lahiya in the area of Al-Aditra and,
03:10when they sent the warning, we left immediately because our house is close to the border territories.
03:15We left and we endured everything in order to survive.
03:19But where are the countries of the world and the spirits of the people, where are they,
03:23where are we going to go?
03:24We are waiting for God's help.
03:26We want everyone who is not looking to take action and start moving and reacting.
03:33As we can see, the situation is very difficult and people have reached the point of desperation
03:38as they have no place to go.
03:44This is an example of what hundreds of thousands of Gazatais are going through, who have to
03:50evacuate and don't know where to go.
03:52People are tired and, in some cases, they have lost their minds because of all the evacuation
03:57processes they have undergone, having to move to a different place each time and also because
04:04of the fact that the humanitarian zones are being reduced and they don't know where to
04:09go.
04:10They have been displaced from this area because it is being bombed at this very moment and
04:15they want to save their lives, but they are left with no options to find shelter.
