"There’s no place for us. This is the second time we’ve been displaced, paying 800 shekels for a vehicle and finding nothing, then we leave again. Today, they dropped leaflets on us, and we are already displaced. We don’t know if God will make things easier for us. God willing, they’ll hit us with nuclear weapons and we’ll find relief."

We don’t even have money to pay for the car to take us to Muwasi, Khan Younis. We thank God, and we have no one left besides him. My wife and I have nothing."

6. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Ashraf Ziyara, displaced from Gaza City:
"(Because of) fear. I don’t want to be displaced. I want to stay in Gaza (city), but the fear of shelling and bombing. Where do we go? We’re forced. I don’t want to leave Gaza, but under pressure, we left. We stayed in the south for a year and a half and suffered there. We returned to Gaza (City) and we don’t want to leave, but we can’t. The situation is very difficult."

STORYLINE:
Long-suffering Palestinians were displaced once again as the Israeli military urged a full evacuation of Gaza City on Tuesday morning ahead of its planned expanded offensive in the northern city.
Associated Press reporters saw more cars and trucks than previous days passing from northern to southern Gaza on Tuesday, laden with supplies and people, but no widespread evacuation.
Hazem Abu Reyash, displaced from Gaza City, told the Associated Press that he and his wife have been forced to sleep in the streets in the absence of any available shelter.
Ashraf Ziyara, another displaced Palestinian, said that he was forced to evacuate out of fear of shelling and airstrikes.
The decision was difficult, as he and his family suffered when they displaced to south of enclave previously for a year and a half.
Hundreds of thousands of people have already been struggling under conditions of famine.
There are an estimated 1 million Palestinians in the area of north Gaza around Gaza City, according to both the Israeli military and the United Nations, around half of Gaza’s population of 2.1 million.
